      Hi Andy, It looks good and the tracks at first glance don't seem to be to bad compared with some aftermarket offerings.

        Mike and Jakko kindly sent me some advice on assembling the suspension and running gear. There are a lot of bits that all need to be in the right place at the right time but it went to well without any problems. So thank you guys. this is the end result .

            The bogies seem to have gone together fine, it’s already starting to look like a Churchill

                Well that's the running gear sorted - looks tidy.

                    Looking good Paul, the wheels & suspension are the worst part of this kit!

                        Jakko, all seems ok at the moment but still lots of things I can get wrong.

                            Given there a lot more cleverer people on here than me. How do I sort on the net to find a particular vehicle I have tried the tanks serial number and unit but can't find anything specific.

                            As you know I'm not normally to worried about getting things 100% right but the kit has a choice of rivets and bolts and other small parts, and I would like to use the right ones if I can. the instuctions give the choices but not as to which vehicle.

                            Thanks in advance.

                              I think you’ll probably have to go at it the other way Scottie….find a photo of a Churchill you like, then work through the options selecting those that are appropriate ….

                                I was wondering if that was the easier way.
