I have the Airfix Classics Churchill Crocodile and had a horrible time with the build. So much so, I've stashed it down in a drawer and when my skills increase I may try to correct some of the issue I had. A shame really because I have a great idea for a diorama. Best of luck with the build!

I've made a start on the Churchill. Old 1961 tool and it seems to show. I've put the wheels together and added them to the side chassis. Next will be painting them. 🙂

Sorry that you found this kit a pain to build Andy, hopefully, I'll not have to do the same! Thanks for your kind comment. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes John H, Villiers DV, & Karel D. 👍

Following you with interest on this one Guy! I'd love to see this ancient classic given some TLC. I'm considering attempting the Crocodile version. It's a tricky build from my 1970s memories but that was back when I was a tyro.

Tracks and skirts added to main hull. Hataka olive drab used for painting. Painted the shovels, machine guns and tow cables. Starting to look like a tank now. 🙂

I'm declaring this one completed. I added the turret and then the decals after spraying with gloss varnish. I then used a black wash for weathering with some mud added. The kit itself is OK but the wheels are a bit difficult and don't seem to fit very well. I used super glue to glue the tracks together as the heating with a knife (as per instructions) didn't work very well. The aerials are made from heated sprue, a bit over scale I think.

The tank denoted is APOLLO of the 1st Royal Tank Regiment, 22nd Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Division A ... T 173147 H. 🙂

Nicely done Sir. I too found the wheels a strange fit and on reflection, it probably needed a lot more dry fit, filing and testing before gluing. However, it was one of my first kits getting back into this so I suppose it was expected. If I see it on sale again (it was in The Works store) I'll pick it up and go again. Excellent work once again. Andy
