Work In Progress / Re: Proposed Project: Churchill

As with any tank whose service history was comprised of many marks over the whole war, the Churchill presents a few problems - namely you have to produce at least two quite different kits - one for early - mid & one for mid - late war.
So, with that in mind, my vote would be for one kit to represent MKs III - V & one for Mks VI - VIII (with, if possible representation of some AVRE variants - spigot mortar, 3' howitzer etc).
Dividing them may be problematic as hatches etc. can be in very different positions, which may make 'multi-mark' kits difficult.
As to whether late or early war should come first - I think you might get more bites for one of the 75 armed marks, but I'm sure there are others out there who'd feel differently.
