British Armour - Britannia Churchill Tanks

My final posting today - Five Britannia Churchill tanks, three armed with the 75mm, one with a 6pdr and a Churchill Armoured Recovery Vehicle.  

Crew members are all from Britannia; added track protection is from the PSC Churchill kit (on the 6pdr turret) and spare Tiger track (see one of the 75mm armed models).  

Crew in the recovery vehicle is made up from the Britannia ARV Crew (figure sitting with beret and map), 25pdr Crew (figure sitting with helmet) and British command sets (figure standing inside ARV).

British Armour - PSC Churchill

While the majority of my Churchill kits are Britannia, with the odd Airfix added for good measure, I also have 4 PSC Churchill tanks.  The kit goes together very well, and they complement my Valiant British infantry, which is why I purchased them in the first place.   However, they are noticeably larger than any of my other Churchill models.   

Here are two PSC Churchill IV's, each with the 75mm gun - besides addition of stowage the only modification was the removal of the front mud guards (quite easy to do):

British Armour - Stuarts

The Plastic Soldier Company (PSC) Stuart kit is a delight to assemble and paint.  Since you get three is a box, I made one a "turretless" version.  Crew is PSC or Britannia and the usual suspects when it comes to stowage:

British Armour - Cromwell

It's been a while since I've had the chance to post, so today I'm making up for lost time with pictures of what I have completed recently.  

First up, three Britannia Cromwell tanks, including a close-support version with a 95mm gun.
Crews are Britannia, with the usual mix of stowage from Sgts Mess, RAFM, and Britannia:

Churchill Crocodiles

Assembled three Britannia Churchill Crocodile flame thrower tanks, the last of my resin kit backlog. Crew are also Britannia, while vehicle stowage is a combination of Sgts Mess, RAFM, and Britannia.  The weather has turned and I doubt I'll get a chance to prime these before Spring!  

Churchills and Cromwells

I finally assembled some Britannia kits I picked up second hand; they are the "older" versions of the models available today as the tracks came as separate metal castings, the Churchill IV's at least, are now made with an all resin hull and track assembly.  

Group shot of all 8 tanks, assembled, stowage added, and ready to be primed.  Stowage is from Sgts Mess, Britannia, and RAFM.  Crew figures Britannia, with others to be added after painting:

21st Panzer Division SPW 107 Half Tracks

I now have sufficient vehicles to complete the 1st Battalion, Panzer Grenadier Regiment 125 - along with a command half track.   Vehicles are all from Ready to Roll, primed and ready for painting:

Left to right: SPW P107 Command Half Track for the Regimental HQ; a SPW P107 37mm HT and two SPW P107 half tracks for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Companies, respectfully.  Great models, very well cast and detailed.   Will post once painted and crewed.
