Whoa! I'm not fan of Churchills, but I'd get that one!
Good on Tongde for hopping off the path well travelled.
Mike.

I hope for after market mods with Mark III and IV turrets and other bits.
I think there are a variety of extras coming from various places. Turrets being one of them.

Good Afternoon,
I'm hanging on and waiting for Dave and Julie to bring some in. I know we will get the best specimens from those folks and the widest range of accessories.
regards,
Painless

Hello,
today I found time to inspect the Churchill in detail.
I noticed that the hull is not completely closed.
There is a gap of approx. 6 mm on each side.
A lot of sand etc. is being transported inside through the chains....

It moves well "straight out of the box". I'm going to replace the electronics in mine with Beier. Still a few weeks of waiting (bought via rctank.de).

I will do the same, an SFR-1-HL should be sufficient.

That gap right next to the tracks is quite concerning.
I to tend to run my tanks pretty hard and off the beaten track, and that is just asking to have mud or snow conveyed straight into the interior.
Fortunately it looks like it shouldn't be too hard to build up the bottom tub with plasticard and close it off that way.

Kaczor, the TongDe Bradley also shows a gap, and I am wondering if I have the right idea to fix it. Please see my third post at
