that Preying-Mantis is my favourite "Battle of Britain" tank !!  Considering ordering one of those kits :uuu:
Took several photos of it at Bovvy but couldn't afford the info pack on its development.

The Churchill SPG is also of a prototype that never proceeded - its at Bovington awaiting "restoration"(its left-hand side was blown away on the ranges).

I can tell you that there was a Beverette with a BP Defiant turret used for airfield defense at an RAF base "somewhere in England"  I scratch built a standard Beverette once and the article had a picture of that very beast !!!  I wanted to build that one but had no way to make or source that turret. I been wanting to do another one ( the original got trashed in moving) and now I can !!!!!!   My bank account may not like it but , I WANT ONE !!!!  I MUST HAVE ONE !!!!!!!
