As the included text states it is the only remaining complete example in existence, and you are welcome.

I'd love to see one of these done in 1/35th. I doubt a mainstream manufacturer would make one so resin would do fine for me.

Ken I don't believe it would be too hard to scratch one from a Churchill kit, I am always willing to get extra pics for you within reason.

If the economy ever improves there's a resin kit all mastered and ready for production out there. It just has to become financially viable to release. Which is making me nuts as I want it NOW! Sigh.

I'd still love to see one in Plastic Fantastic! I'm sure AFV Club could be persuaded, seeing as they already have the tooling for all the running gear! (And a 17-pdr from their Achilles...)

Dunno. Meng expressed interest but we'll see. The problem is the running gear and tracks are actually different that the previous Churchills, so aside from the main gun it's all new.

Someday.
