Well done. Looks fiddly to paint the wheels etc now.

Not that difficult David as there aren't any rubber tyres on Churchill wheels.

Cheat? I thought that was how we all did it. :ha: :ha:

A coat of paint has got me to this stage, but due to the cold temperature the paint is taking a long time to dry so no more work on it tonight.

I think you're a very brave man and I can only say well done on what you've achieved so far. In fact you've made it look rather straightforward!! Try the PSC Churchill after this. You'll be finished in no time. :)

Cheers.

I was surprised by the amount of detail this old kit has :shock:

Due to holiday commitments I'm calling this one finished, if I get time when I return I will add minor things like aerials, unfortunately I'm not a AFV builder so I don't have a spares box to add things like backpacks and cam nets.

Regards Splash

Great looking tank, splash! I like the understated weathering.


Needs more wheels though :)

Very nicely finished!

Did I hear a rumour that the wheels can be a bit of a pig? :-D :ha:
Best wishes

Excellent work with that oldie Splash, that has turned out very well. We'll make an AFV modeller out of you yet :grin:
