Work In Progress / Re: Proposed Project: Churchill

Since Italier/WLG already had a Churchill released, we can push the project back until we'd finished other more pressing projects.  We are not in a hurry...

Will this new version still be compatible with the M36 turret from your M10/M36 kit?

Definitely yes!  All our US tank designs are downward compatible!

Looking really good but quit teasing us , get some to the stores 

We definitely would like these to be out ASAP, but the mould making queue is so long...  basically speechless!

Not visible in the picture (but as the bottom of the grille is visibly different I would guess they have designed the two format grilles), so they could just describe the grille mesh shape: square or diamond.
I did not realise the difference in the lights. Excellent.

The grilles are different, the Chevy one is diamond shaped, whereas the Ford one is a square mesh.
Actually there are several configurations of the headlights, so we wanted something which is more common.
Also, the windows can be very different too!

The way we had designed the cabs, you can actually "saw" off the rooftop, window frames, and portion of the cab back panel to make the cab an open-top vehicle too!

great when can we expect it?

The usual official answer - after we did 3d Prototyping, then amendments, sprue layout, QC approval, mould making... probably Q2/17?

Nothing wrong with more options.   But if you can't use the names 'Ford', 'Chevy' etc on the kit, how would you explain these optional designs?

The outline of the logo will spell it all... but with this two cab option, we'll need to change our kit design a little, particularly the canvas top to make this work.  Also, you will have an extra cab as bits/parts too!

Just toying with this idea brought up by UVS... but this will affect our multi-slide mould cab design!

On the subject regarding the 105mm turret, we already have included
a rear ventilation with the newer vision cupola option but not shown
previously.  We are also in discussion about a separate turret without
the loader hatch for earlier (British?) 75mm gun turret too!





Further comments?

By the way, are there fittings to hold the rifle behind the hand rail, I saw a modern photograph with rifles appearing to be held by brackets or something.

Not sure about the brackets, but we are going to do a stowage set for the Kettenkrad that will include lots of stuff...

We are just putting various guns & mantlets to show the possibilities.
When we paired the turret with a hull, we will then "customise" them
to make them become a "valid" variant.  Right now, just for show...

Looks great....Please produce M4A1 cast hull :-)

Now that we are looking into redoing the Panzer III and Panzer IV, seems like the
M4A1 will come later due to heavy workload.  Probably Q3/17 or after.

Will you offer Ford And Chevrolet grills?

Not sure for the moment.  Probably will just offer the Chevy version.
We are considering doing a multi-slide mould cab body...

This is the new 75mm/105mm turret for our M4 Digital Library Project.
With a change of guns and mantlets, this turret will be able to provide
you with firepower from a US or British Sherman!

Just wonder which M4 hull we are going to put this? C&C welcome!















Enjoy!
