Found me another project !
a box of Churchill bits popped up from previous conversions. As the 5.5inch Crusader has been shoved to the back of the pile, I thought time to do something with this stuff and sort of resurrect the SP 5.5 Inch gun idea but using a Churchill. There was a project to SP the 5.5inch with the Centurion but perhaps in a '46 scenario it was done in redundant Churchills as Centurions came online as gun tanks.
OK, the first gotcha as lack of running gear (again !!!) stil,l can work around that for the moment.
This is what I have achieved this weekend
Built up some superstructure using the usual suspects of placcy card and bits. Gun tube is from tube stock.
had a rivetting good time drilling holes for Tichy Train Rivets
Using up some Tamiya and AFV Club Churchill bits.
At this stage this build will be fording a stream, what better way to hide the lack of running gear
Cheers
