Churchill AVRE Mk. lll

I was wondering if that was the easier way.

That's the way to go, different versions had the bolts in different combinations or positions. Check out 79th Armoured Division, "Hoboes Funnies"

You’ve basically got three options, I’d say: one is what you suggested, to find information on a specific vehicle; the second, as Tim and Mike say, to begin with pictures of a real vehicle and follow those; or three, to do whatever you like (within reason). If you want a historically accurate model, my advice is the same as given above: take option 2; if you want a representative model rather than of an actual, real vehicle, take option 3.

You may want to build the one at Bovington

I think your right I will probably just go for my normal "if it looks right" method.

A little bit more done. I replaced some of the bolt detail with punched detail as a lot of the kit bolt detail had been moulded of centre.



A spring was added to the mud scraper.

Looking very good. Nice detail additions as well.

Hi Tim, A lot of museum items do mate, but it shows the basic nuts and bolts.

Cheers Tim, the build is going well all fitting together very nicely so far.

[scottie3158]

These what ever they are have had a little detail added to them. What ever they are can be positioned open or closed I have them closed.



Then positioned on the rear.

They're exhausts for the pneumatic jet propulsion plants that propel these slow buggers when the need arises Paul :tears-of-joy::smiling6: Okay...kidding, I don't know what it is either but it sure looks good with the added spring.

That would be something to see a jet propelled tank.

They’re holders for two smoke generators (each, so four in all).

Cheers Jakko that would have been my first guess as couldn't think of anything else they could be bat thanks for confirming it.
