Trying to decide which Churchill to build was frustrating. There are so many versions of the Churchill it ain't funny, especially if you get into the special purpose "Hobart funnies" that got built in WW II. I finally decided on the A22f Heavy Churchill because it doesn't have rivets, and the trailer rig looked interesting. Just getting the suspension to look like the real thing was a challenge ---- building a working spring suspension is waaaaaay beyond my skill and capabilities. But this critter will be operational if I use the old tried and true S/S power source I used when I was a kid.
