Dave Flitton Excellent work!

Ondrej Skarka Thanks!

Dave Morris Please visit the associated album for comments, updates & pictures for this project.

Jean Pierre CULIS-FERY Nice build.

Udo Teuteberg Impressive build with that old Airfix Kit. I like it and think it`s a option to stand beside by my Matchbox AVRE. Regards, Udo.

Linas V. Thank you for the kind words.

Scott Dutton This will be huge

Damien Battersby Tiny compared to the Leopard Biber or Chieftain Bridgelayer and yes I have both before you ask.

David Gibson Declaring this complete. Might need a dark wash on the ground work.

Steven Van Dyck Thanks, guys. I've come to appreciate the Churchill now. Another funny came to my attention now, in a while I will build a Sherman crab too.

Choppa Nutta Steven ! What an enthrallingly awesome piece of work, the photos in natural light really bring it to life !!
fantastic work !! love it

Steven Van Dyck Thanks for the nice comment, Choppa! Saturday the diorama has participated to the IPMS Antwerp contest and it won a bronze medal and the Sturmtiger Trophy for the best military diorama of the show. I'm very pleased with the results.

Choppa Nutta Congratulations Steve !!
Well done

Gareth Windsor Well done Steven, you deserve the awards.

Steven Van Dyck Thanks, guys. Maybe an update in a few weeks, MCW Event will also have a contest.

Urban Gardini Marvelous mate, just bloody marvelous! Well deserved win.

Holger Kranich Absolute well deserved medals, mate!!!

Russ Haines I'm not an armour person usually, built this for my daughter. I had traumatic memories of the bogies and tracks from when I built a regular Churchill 30 years ago, but this was fine (I suspect I've got more tools and more patience now!). I could get into armour after all...

43 Rascarcapaco Hi Alan Glad your back!!Everything ok ?
small scale u start...u gonna test some skills?

Alan Rush Thanks Michael. I have left my unfinished projects to be ignored lately. Thought I would start this that was sitting on the shelf. Working under the magnifier lamp on this one.

Holger Kranich Hast die von Thomas?

Frank Krause Yepp!

Holger Kranich Wo magst Du die dran montieren? M4?

Holger Kranich Ah, sehr coole Idee!

scalemates not cheap

Frank Krause Jepp, absolutely!

vincent coyne I used paper clips folded into a arch shape for the lights on the Sherman
the m16 I glued the hinge of the doors so they can open and shut the poly cement was kind of flexiable when it was dry

Michael O'Hagan nice Kit good weathering. Like the tracks a lot.

Es-haq Khosravi Great job!!!

vincent coyne i done this model a year ago
the rust is orange mixed with brown

Gerald Willing Schöner Churchill

Albi Hitz Thank you mates for all the kind comments.

@H K ... not really complicated ... I would say a little bit fiddly but for an experienced modeler no big deal. The tracks are the trial of patience (or you choose the rubber ones .... ), I used a voyager PE set, but in the end I think its to much of time-consuming work for the effect ...
I would say "recommended"

Aghis Barberopoulos Looks impressive! I like the dusting and staining.

H K Thx for your answer Albi.

Murad ÖZER WOW

Vorya hidaryan Amazing work.

Michel Huijghe Albi I Love this. Yes I'm a fan from you models

George Bacon Fabulous, just fabulous! . Great paint and weathering.

Hanno Kleinecke The croc looks great ! Very convincing weathering. unbelievably painstakingly accurate scratchbuilding in this small scale ! Looks a lot bigger than 1/76, I like it a lot.

Anthony Richards Very nice!

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Fine work on this Old kit

Murad ÖZER Thank a bunch folks!

Erhan Atalay Enfes.... yazısını da yazsan da kenarda beklese

Murad ÖZER Sağol Erhan abi

Christian Bruer Very nice Murad. You can feel the freeze and dirt!

Es-haq Khosravi Wow! That's so detailed!

Acki Amazing weathering. Churchill is always a great project.

Bill Spargo Very nice build and the diorama base looks great with what you are doing. The snow is a great idea, well done.

Es-haq Khosravi Excellent job!

Murad ÖZER Es-haq, Acki and Bill, thank ya all folks.

Augie excellent work :

Ned Barnett This tank was bought from eBay and turned out to be partially built (well-built). Also, for some reason, a Badger single-action airbrush was also in the box.

Ulf Petersen Nice model of an ugly vehicle!
I like the finish. Have you applied the decals on gloss coat? It seems like they are a bit silvering...

Lionel Marco I hope to cure the silvering with more Microsol. I applied twice some Alclad gloss varnish, but I must ne doomed: My matt paints are always gloss in the end and when I want something gloss it always fail!
Thanks for you comment

Lionel

Ulf Petersen Yeah, that's a little tricky sometimes. I made good experiences with Vallejo products, just in case...

Choppa Nutta Hi Lionel,
your project can be named anything it is just the photo album that needs to be named The Neglected Kit Resurrection Groupbuild
cool subject btw

Lionel Marco Thank you.
I don't know why, but I always had a soft spot for the first Churchill, and the braille Hasegawa kit isn't enough...

Choppa Nutta yeah it is a cute tank
btw what is a braille Hasegawa kit ?

John Van Kooten Braille means very small scale

Choppa Nutta ah I see

Lionel Marco 1/72 scale and the like. It's not that little, especially compared to 1/144 or 1/285 ( If I recall there's a few magnificent AFV here in this Lilliput scale

Choppa Nutta yeah too small for me and my eyes

Lionel Marco
I'm progressing slowly with this kit, but the A22 isn't exactly known for its top speed!

At last, the tracks are done and on the kit, as are the decals!

Choppa Nutta nice to know yet more progress is happening in TNKR

Patrik Spett I started to build Tamiyas Universal carrier, the text on the sprues says "1976" (that doesnt mean the part count). The fit is good but moulded on vision port covers.. front plate is too thick or maybe the carrier had armor like a medium tank. Worse still, I got 7 more kits in that tamiya D-day box, I suspect there is a reason for the low price I might get to use one of them to trick someone into modelbuilding one day "look here kid, here you have a super kit af a Sherman, its Tamiya, one of the finest brands and once upon a timeit costed a weeks salary "
