This is my own conversion of a Plastic Soldier Company Churchill tank. I have retrofitted it with a spare 2 pounder from the A9 Cruiser sprue and the awesome looking 3 inch howitzer in the hull is a sawn down 6 pounder. I have cut away the big mudguards to expose the tracks, giving this Churchill a very WW1 appearance. I have painted it with my usual scheme for early war dark green tanks, and as part of my collection represents the disaster of Dieppe where some of the early Churchills went into ill-fated action for the first time. It wouldn't be until the deployment of King Force, using Mark III Churchills, when the tank finally showed itself as the ultimate evolution of the Infantry tank concept.
