Kit Contents Review

Introduction:

Following on from the previous Churchill Mk.III and Mk.III AVRE kits comes the long awaited Churchill Mk.IV with the Mk.5 L/50 6 Pdr Gun which is basically the Mk.III hull with new cast turret that had superior ballistic protection than the welded Mk.III turret. It also featured the upgraded L/50 6 Pdr Gun and played a big part in advance through NW Europe after D-Day with many specialist vehicles as well as tank guns.
