Details:
Due to continuing delays in the production of the A30
Challenger (Kit UK23), and as the A41 Centurion design
work had just begun, it was decided that Vauxhall should
build an interim 17pdr. Gun Tank using many of the components
of the A22 Churchill Mk.VII resulting in the A43 "Black
Prince" or "Super Churchill". Six were
completed before wars end, but as the Centurion was
also now ready no series production was undertaken.
The
master model for this kit was completely rebuilt in
early 2005 to match the other Churchill kits in our
range, although the painted photographs shown are of
the pre-upgrade version.
The
replacement brass barrel illustrated is available as
BAR17M |
