Bogie setup for positions 1,2 and 11

SHIPPING SPRING 2022

We are very pleased to announce that the next kit we will be releasing after the Hetzer will be one of the heaviest Allied tanks of the second world war – the Churchill. More specifically, we will be making the Mk III variant of the tank.

The Churchill Mk III tank has so far been a fascinating project for us. Not only has it been an interesting journey tracing its history and development, but the design of tank is a real amalgam of design philosophies.

One of the interesting facts about the Churchill is that it was the Churchill(s) from the 48th Royal Tank Regiment which disabled the Tiger 1 (131) that the Tank Museum in Bovington have and now run on a regular basis. Read more about that here

For those of you that bought an Armortek Tiger 131, this would make a great addition to the story!

Armortek’s 1:6 scale Churchill Mk III tank is based off measurements of the Churchill Mk III and Mk IV tanks at the Tank Museum in Bovington as well as from research from their archives.

The tank  is sold as a kit for assembly and can be turned into an Radio Controlled (RC) Tank through the addition of options.
