Good progress on the Churchill rebuilds, most were missing the barrels, but I have plenty of spare guns and turrets.
When replacing the Airfix turrets I did notice that the pins that mount the turret to the hull were quite different. I am presuming that the ones I am rebuilding are from the original mould, while the turrets are from a retooled or cleaned up version. Extra work re-drilling the holes.
Almost uniform, the one with the chap in the turret is the Squadron command tank.
Not exactly D-Day but a good wash is required prior to re-painting.
Spic and span, ready for the next stage. Hopefully base coat tomorrow, the weather will be the judge of that however.
Model on!
No stopping now. As you say "Model on".
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I'm doing some early war 20mm WW2 british tanks at the moment (Matildas and Crusaders) what sort of markings would they have if any? I'm only doing about a dozen in squadrons of 2 or 3.
ReplyDeleteLoving the 'swimming' Churchills!
ReplyDeleteShow us the progress Paul!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of buying some, and I would like to see them painted from you first! ;-)

Suprised your not going for a centaur mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rich.
To true Rodger, progress should be quick from here.

Hi Fran, this is what you are looking for I think.

Best of British or Irish in this case.

Yes Tim, slippery when wet, and not known for its swimming ability.

Crikey Thanos, give me a chance mate! I thought I was doing all right considering the amount of them!
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Cool, I like the tank wash idea, I've got a couple on the go that I'll try this with
ReplyDeleteHi Rich, the Centaur was from the Cromwell family. I will do a Churchill AVRE type as well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
A good wash always helps the painting Al, and kills the dust.
ReplyDeleteLots of TLC :)
