Another great build of an Airfix classic, Celt. I built this one many moons ago and still remember the wheels! millions of them!

Well done it looks great.

I used to hate building the Airfix Churchill tank, until I found out the small road wheels left on the sprue, fit exactly to the suspension parts, this simplifies the construction no end.

Nice! Excellent dry brushing to muddy it up and bring out the details.

I did a demo build here that shows how you can use the outer sides to steady the wheels one at a time as you assemble them, as an alternative to the sprue method. It also show some of the details you can add to this kit, if you wish.
