Well Roy, I- for one, will be keen to see what your tinsnips manage to carve out this time. Your MK IV looked as if it had been conjured up in metal by a magician. , and I will expect nothing less than another beautifully engineered model.
My ex-Wife's Grandfather trained as a motor engineer (as opposed to a modern, less skilled mechanic). He used these skills to build three beautiful ride-on steam locomotives, that many would kill to get their hands (and, of course, a*ses ) on. That was back in the 1950s. What fate befell them, I'm not sure. One thing is for sure, you'll be leaving a great legacy with models like the Mk IV. That's...er...a long time in the future, of course.

Looks like another gem in the making. You've chosen a gem to build too. I'll never posses those skills

Hi.

I hope it turns out ok it is really hard to get good information on the Churchill, plenty of good pictures no actual measurements,I got WW1 drawings for the MKIV even got good measurements for when I built the Abrams, but this one is hard going.regards Roy

The AFV Churchill AVRE kit looks really good, and also has working suspension. In lieu of plans it may be a useful reference?
