Thanks Guys :laugh:
There are a few things I'm not fully happy with, but this is for my 'Inside the Armour' trade stand for shows, to show the interior off on a completed model, and it succeeds at that (more successfully 'in the flesh' as you can seem more of the interior)
The hardest thing was not weathering it more. I really wanted to chip and rust away as those things work really well on a desert scheme, but the Kingforce tanks were virtually brand new at Alamein and were not used after the battle, so heavy weathering would have been very unrealistic
Glad you like it and many thanks for the comments

Very nice work there! I wonder what company offers this armor and does it come with interior details?

Thanks This is the AFV Club MkIII Churchill. The interior is a kit I produce through my company 'Inside the Armour'
There are also a few 'additions' to make it a Kingforce tank which are just scratch details
In the interests of public information ( :huh: ) I made a few mistakes on this, so I will list them just in case someone is foolhardy enough to do what I did :S
1. the turret stowage bin is wrong. the Kingforce ones had a simpler earlier type with no 'clipped' corners at the bottom, just a rectangular box
2. the exhausts are not quite right, they should be about 3mm longer and terminate in a sqaured end, not a sloped cut
3. the sunshield rails should be the short one at the front (which I have correct!) but then a single long one that runs above the side intake instead of two interrupted by the intakes
Hope that helps someone
Chris
