British Army Churchill Tank - 1:56 / 28mm Plastic Model Tank Bolt Action

Being a long time game player and getting back into WW2 always on the look out for a bargain.Building up on the armies I have already got the need to add the armour up.So always looking for the best buy.

Very enjoyable piece of kit to build. I started building the hull the day it was delivered and enjoyed almost all of the building process. There was, however, a few tedious parts which involved having to cut a small part of the turret off to accommodate the fire extinguishers however this was detailed in the manual so you know where to cut.All in all, a pretty enjoyable build and would definitely recommend picking one up if you're interested in using it for wargames or just to look at.Pictured is the AVRE version with the cast turret and huge howitzer, however there is lots of different versions you can choose to make.

I'm going to sound like a right moaner in this review. I got this kit with much excitement as I positively HATE resin and lead metal models. I was hugely disappointed with it.This is NOT a display style model. It is sold on the idea that it will be used as a wargaming piece. It is simply not fit for this purpose. I never intend to mix a quick bit of Rugby in with my wargaming, but this model clearly is not designed with actual wargaming in mind. For example, the hull machine gun barrel in one place is about the thickness of the wire I use to clear out the glue in the needle applicator for my liquid cement glue.Make no mistake, this model will not last long with all it's little details. The odd stray dice landing on this thing during a game will break bits off with ease.Then there is the major flaw which I discovered as I was finishing the model. Bearing in mind, I have been building model kits for over 30 years now. I built the hull the day before and left it to dry before finishing the turret. The instructions are simple and the model has only a small number of parts.However, when I finished my turret, I discovered it no longer fitted onto the hull mount anymore due to there not being enough clearance between the turret counter balance and the hull structure. Piece 45 is the offending article which prevents the counter balance from passing over it.I double checked the positioning of the counter balance. "No I'd got that right."So with dread I double checked how I'd placed piece 45 as it had dried the day before. According to the instructions I'd placed 45 correctly. It did after all have 4 pegs which you use to position it and push in. Not hard, and not much else you can do with it. It's impossible to fit it upside down or any other way than how directed in the instructions.But no, it clearly didn't fit anymore. This left me with the only option of snipping enough of part 45 off to give the counter balance clearance which in turn meant I could then attach the turret. How the purist will shudder, but by this point I didn't care anymore.After spending a moment looking the tank over I decided the new damage and now incorrectness of it was something I could still live with. However I also realised that due to the flimsy nature of the tank, I couldn't be bothered going to the trouble of painting it up for wargaming because then I'd be spending a fair bit of time painting something that wouldn't last 5 minutes on a games table. It also wasn't detailed enough to be a display model either.With a sigh it ended up in the bin. Pretty bad considering it arrived 2 days ago.Although I detest resin, my resin Warlord Cromwell tank is over 6 years old and still going strong. For the time being if you are buying Warlord tanks for wargaming, stick to the resin ones.

Articolo come da dewscrizione, spedizione nella norma. e qualità prezzo centrata. Soddisfatto. Modellino Italeri identico al modellino (sempre made by Italeri) Warlord, ma molto più a buon mercato!

This was a very good and very adaptable kit, allowing the building of one of several versions of the Churchill tank. The instructions were very easy to read and detailed. All in all a very good and high quality kit.

Una gran maqueta, muy facil de montar, plastico de calidad, sin rebabas ni muchas marcas de molde. Puedes hacer cualquier modelo de Churchill desde el Mk.I al exotico Avre, y con un poco de maña pudes tener varias torretas para diferentes modelos.

This model is very fun to build, but there are some complaints such as drilling required on 3 pieces, and there and the .The wheel sections don't snap into place. Overall the build was fun and easy.
