Re: Churchill Bridge Layer
Contact the RE museum at Brompton Barracks mate - they might well be willing/able to help. I am pretty sure they have one on display there as well so I could grab some detailed photos if needed?
Always on the search for Bootneck-proof kit

Re: Churchill Bridge Layer
Why trouble the REs when one of our own members built one a few years ago. 
You could always go to www.drawingdatabase.com and type in "Churchill AVRE" there is a Centurion Tank on the database but not the AVRE variant but you will certainly get the Bridgelayer information from the Churchill AVRE plan.

Re: Churchill Bridge Layer
I gave details for the Drawing Database because unlike the Blueprints.com site it is free although it does not include any dimensions but it is easy to extrapolate the measurements as long as the Centurions dimensions which "Old Tanker" already has. is transposed over the Churchill.

Re: Churchill Bridge Layer
Thanks everyone for your prompt replies. The second link given by Pete Wright is the model I want to build. Interestingly the method of construction is the same as my method, ie using base metals - brass, aluminum, steel, etc. I will have to make contact and try to bleed information from the modeller!
I'm new to this site, but will try to work out how to upload some photos. Any pointers in the right direction will be appreciated.
