From the publisher: Designed as a heavily armored tank to accompany infantry formations, the Churchill’s ability to cross rough ground and climb seemingly unassailable hills became legendary. The tank first saw action in 1942, and the basic design was constantly reworked and upgunned, culminating in the Mark VII version which was capable of taking on the heaviest German tanks.

In his fourth book in the Tank Craft series, Dennis Oliver uses archival photographs and color profiles to tell the story of these iconic British tanks. As readers have come to expect from the Tank Craft series, color photos feature available model kits and accessories as well as aftermarket products. In addition to the color profiles, there is a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. A separate section explains technical details and production modifications, helping the modeler re-create an authentic reproduction of one of the tanks that contributed so much to the British effort in the battles for Normandy.

FSM says: Includes an overview of available kits and aftermarket accessories: decals, tracks, and photo-etch.
