About the book >.>.> The purpose of this book is to present techniques and methodologies for building scale replicas of the Churchill Infantry Tank. With such a diverse and extensive subject to cover in a modelling book the challenge was in the selection of variants that best represent the most common types of Churchill. Moreover it was equally as important to choose projects that would enable the reader to use the methodologies presented herein as a stepping stone’ to modelling with some adjustments and modifications the many other variants and types of Churchill tanks. This book presents the reader with several Churchill variants using the plastic Tamiya kit as the skeletal basis of the projects with several after-market conversion kits and accessories and also demonstrates scratch-building techniques. In each chapter the construction will be described in detail. Explanations will be provided on various paint applications with hints and tips on making models look more realistic using several weathering techniques. It will also offer methods to personalize a model with accessories and figures with suggestions on ways of creating an atmospheric setting to accommodate the model. It can be said that the number of full Churchill kits in 1/35th scale is quite limited. There have been several releases in resin but these are now out of production; however at the time of writing several full resin kits by Cromwell have been announced. In the plastic realm the Tamiya 1/35th-scale offering of the Churchill tank has been in existence for close to 30 years and comes in two variants: the Churchill VII and the Churchill Crocodile. Both of these kits are identical with small alterations and inclusions to alter the kit between a flamethrower Crocodile and a gun-tank Churchill VII. (LL)
