Plastic Soldier Company British Churchill Tank (2 Tanks) - 1:72 Plastic Kit

Excellent kit great detail excellent price for two models only problem is that the tracks which are lacking detail are the wrong way round

I bought these to paint for my cousins model railway to go on some flatbed trucks. The detail on these are fantastic for the price. They are super customisable and were a dream to assemble and paint.

These have to be the best plastic tanks in this scale that I have found. Remember these are meant for the gamer rather than historical collector so not too many parts but fit together really well detail is good and options to make different varients straight out of the box is fantastic. Painted up it is very hard to tell the difference between these and far more expensive resin or metal models Have also built there Panthers, stugs, shermans and stuarts all are excellent.

A pair of very detailed 1/72 scale models which where ideal for some custom modifications.

The quality

I lije these, make nice models with a litte extra detail and stiwage. Would be excellent for war games.

As described

The great thing about this rendition of the Churchill tank is that you don't have to glue on 44 individual road wheels: they're all part of the single mould track/hull wall assemblies. What really lets it down is that there are NO DECALS INCLUDED with the kit. This should have been made clear on the box.Similar, and cheaper, offerings from Italeri come with multiple decal options. I spent more time researching Churchill tank units and shifting through my surplus decal collection than I did building and painting the kit. I eventually cobbled together a 3 Squadron, 4th Tank of the Coldstream Guards. I managed to hide the lack of Division, Brigade, etc markings by adding a lot of weathering and a handful of infantry riding on the hull. Third-party decals can be found but I wasn't going to throw more good money after bad on this project. In the photos you can see were I've had to do some decal trimming revealed by the camera flash.Track detail could have been better (again I hid this with loads of weather and mud effects) and I had to add exhaust pipe stubs on the top of the rear hull. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough decals for the second tank so it has gone for scrap, i.e. my son's toy box.So, Plastic Soldier, give the modeller a choice of four guns but no unit markings. Very odd. 'Gamers and Collectors' should look elsewhere for their heavy armour.
