What about Frontline british tanks ?
This models seems interesting but... I question myself about their degree of completion: look at the space between the wheels...
Did you already see closely? Or do you have some?

From what I have read, that's the problem with some cast resin tanks - the fine details are harder to render. King & Country has improved running gear on their newer releases that was cast separately - it looks a lot better.
However, as long as Unimax and 21C charge less than King & Country, I'm going to stick with the more affordable option... unless they never choose to offer a Churchill, Comet, Cromwell, etc.

I'll second that! We've got the Churchill in 1:72, and a 1/32 version made by FOV (or even 21c) would be awesome. The Char B is another tank. It would be unrecognizable to the general American public (save collectors and historians) but would obviously have some success selling in France. I need one to compliment my Matilda against the growing numbers of Blitzkrieg-era tanks in my collectionRowsdower wrote:I'm always pleading for a 1:32 Churchill on here!! Chear B as well. Awesome tanks with a real "Great War" look.

I think, the most interesting model of Churchill would be the first ( Mark 1 ) because a 75mm howitzer in the body of the tank, look:
Then to reduce the costs 21C could make the other models on the same basis, such Curchill AVRE with 290mm mortar:
, flame-thrower Churchill "Crocodile" etc...

Totally in agreement with you Geoff, that's what I said there.

If the solid cast of the King and Country doesnt bother you, you can look into the 1:32 Churchills offered by CTS. Here is a link. They are nice models, you just need to paint them...

krieg, I had planned to get these Churchills but another site has them listed as 1/43 so I chose not to purchase. Are you sure these are to scale? 54MM may just mean they came with 54MM figures and are undersized...

ch
When compared to my 1:35 scale Tamiya Churchill, they are slightly smaller. I wouldnt say they are 1:43 but they are not full size 1:32/35 either. They are close though. It is a contrast to the picture above of the K&C Churchill which looks oversized going by the scale of the crew members on top.

I want a crocodile
or an A.V.R.E. croc.
The question about missing UK and other commonwealth frontline tanks are valid, but why oh why have we not seen the Wolverine or Achilles TD?
Then, on the Russian front...
I think my head would pop clean off if I saw these in the future

i have a couple of the cts german tanks, for the price they are great they look good when painted with all 1/32 scale figures including conte which are one the big side. But compared to a fov tank they are noticeable amount smaller in length width and height. still they are pretty good
