Yorkshire bod checking in

Post by Semmy »

Hi folks,

Just a quick note to introduce myself, owner of a HL KV-1 and a WSN T34/85 and a raft of 1/35 statics.

Longtime fan of the Churchill and longing for a 1/16 offering. Did at one time start assembling drawings (Autocad) for a 1/6th Churchill MkVII but never got beyong component stage.

Welcome to the forum,and the club called waiting for a Churchill in 1/16 scale. I just don't get the lack of British armor?

I guess it just doesn't have the panache of the axis armour or the widespread market of the US armour or indeed the local influence for the soviet armour.

Anyone that is building a special I can heartily recommend the Tank museum at Bovingdon for plans packs (see attached for an example).

On those plan packs are those plans for models or the full scale plans? The sight isnt very descriptive. i might try a scratch build once I get some of my projects of the bench. And do they include any specs? :think:
