Just finish building this and created the sound set for IBU2U for engine start/idle/running as well as Besa MG firing (At the end of the video). Got a 2s clip for QF-75 main gun but sounded like a pea shooter. Other 6pdr video doesn't sound much better either so for now will stay with the 76mm sound from the T34. Don't mind the track clipping in the video. The top wasn't put on properly, probably the only complain in the otherwise very nice kit (Only other problem was with the working hinges all around but it is the pop in type which most of the time didn't pop in and break off instead).

What a beaut., Michael
Do you have any pics of the kit before assembly, and the assembly process itself? I'm sure many would like to see them.
The Churchill was famed for its hill climbing abilities. Does the model climb well, or overcome obstacles easily?

I like your model version better than the footage of real ones !
For me the best looking and toughest tracks of any Brit/American tank.

Thanks Everyone ! Haven't run it in the field yet as it is still winter here in Canada and everywhere is covered with snow and ice........ I am always horrible at taking build pictures but here are some more for your viewing pleasure...... The kit basically comes with everything other than electronics and gearbox (You have to use PDSGB from DKLM for the gearbox). All hatches are operable, custom metal track links, all wheels are ball bearinged. Servo elevation and Recoil and rotation unit are all included.

Thanks for the pics, Michael.
They reveal enough to show the kit's construction details effectively. One further question, if I may, is the hull made out of styrene?
Ermm... and another; is the hull sufficiently rigid to thwart any potential flexing?
It's a fantastic model, and I Love the tracks especially. Generally, I'm
with envy. Probably not the only one, either.
