AFV Club 1/35 Churchill Tank Mk VII Plastic Model Kit FEATURES: New tooled Mk VII hull & turret Hatches can be positioned open or closed Decals for 6 paint schemes HISTORY: The Churchill VII (A22F) was a heavier version of the Churchill tank, with thicker armour, a redesigned turret and carrying the British 75mm gun. In May 1943 the decision was made to order another 1,000 Churchills and to continue production in 1944. The 1944 production would be of an improved model, the Heavy Churchill or A22F (redesignated as the A42 in 1945). The A22F used welded construction throughout the hull. The armour was made thicker, with up to 152mm at the front (more than on the famous Panzer VI Tiger). Earlier Churchills had used a composite construction, with the armour fitted on top of a mild steel framework. On the A22F the armour plate also served as the structure of the tank. Please note: paints and glue are required to complete this model. Available separately.
