Britannia Churchill IV (75mm) with Britannia command and crew figures.
Airfix Churchill VII with turret armament replaced with metal Britannia 75mm and co-axial Besa machine gun. I didn't care for the fragility and thinness of the gun barrel on the original model so have gone to the other extreme with the Britannia armament - while not to everyone's taste I like the modifiaction and find it makes the Airfix model "fit" visually with Britannia models. I also notice a missing road bogie that needs repairing!
Love the conversion of the Airfix model with the metal gun. I agree with the rationale for doing it.
