Details:
On August 19th, 1942, a major raid was carried out on
the French port of Dieppe by British and Canadian forces.
All of the above marks, plus three Churchill OKE Flamethowers
and some Mk.III's (UK89) took part in the attack. A
number of changes were made including a modified exhaust
and Deep Wading Trunking added. These tanks differ substantially
from the oiriginal designs (UK83). Optional parts are
included to make either of the above Marks, plus the
other modified parts.
OK!......so
we are only human! The model below has late pattern
tracks where as the Churchills that took part in the
Dieppe raid still had the early pattern tracks.
All of our stock was quickly replaced with the correct
track but not before the illustrated model was built
and painted.....it was just to good to waste! The bottom
2 photographs are of the early style tracks now supplied
in the kit. |
