Right, at long last, my finished Australian Churchill Mk XX:

 

 

 

 

 

Observant viewers may notice a difference in the gun barrel versus the one in earlier photos. That's because a new "bonzer mate" from Australia actually sent me a machined 25 pdr barrel and muzzle brake he had made for another project and then actually made me a longer first section of the barrel to meet my backstory needs! Makes all the difference in the world and was a joy to install!

Now working on a recce vehicle based on an un-gunned STRV 103...

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I've got a new thread started for the work on the STRV 103 Recce project so you can follow that one over there...  :)

And I've got one more What if I'm considering; What if the Israelis built their post war armoured force on the Panther and not the Sherman? A Panther with the French 105, new engine, gun trunions pushed forward, turret bustle, co-driver's position converted to ammo storage and marked as during it's last hurrah in the Sinai in 1973.
