This morning with the help of some warm water and several stiff bristle brushes I began the technique of removing some of the XF-2 Flat White which recreates the wear you’d see in the winter white wash camouflage as the crew moved around the outside of the upper hull and turret either entering or exiting to Churchill, performing maintenance, loading ammunition etc.
Hope I captured the technique?

Hello.

I found this excellent new tank museum video about Churchill tank evolution.

Watched that video last night! Then I bought the Tamiya Churchill on

Amazon... Like I said I built this kit before...but now I remember it

was in 2002 not the early 90s as I previously said. I remember it was the 1996 re-release with the added figures.

Ralph, yours turned out very nice.. I didn't know that winter

camouflage was used on these tanks.
