AFV Club 1/35 Churchill Mk.III AVRE (AF35167)

The AFV Club 1/35 Churchill AVRE is generally considered the most accurate Churchill AVRE family available in injection plastic. The key buying criteria are accuracy, suspension detail, Petard mortar detail, and which AVRE engineering variant you want to model. AFV Club's Churchill family features working suspension, aluminum barrels, photo-etch, and much finer detail than older kits, although assembly is considerably more complex. The Mk.III AVRE is the version most modelers think of when they hear "Churchill AVRE." It represents the Royal Engineers assault vehicle used during Normandy operations and carries the famous Petard mortar that fired the "Flying Dustbin" demolition charge. AFV Club's kit includes highly detailed suspension, realistic tracks, and extensive engineering details.

One thing to keep in mind: AFV Club Churchills are famous for their highly detailed suspension. Many experienced builders consider them the best Churchill kits available, but the suspension assembly requires patience and careful alignment.
