Tank Churchill Mk.III "King Force" El Alamein 1942 New & original packaging Finished model in collector's box
Dragon: 60592
Scale: 1:72
Dragon Armor releases its second model of a 1/72 scale Churchill infantry tank, and once again it is the interesting Mk.III variant. This time the Churchill is finished in the colors and markings of one of six tanks sent to Egypt in North Africa in late 1942. They formed the so-called KingForce, named after the unit's commander, Major Norris King. The Mk.III, weighing 39,626 kg, was equipped with a 6-pounder gun in a fully welded turret. The KingForce vehicles arrived just in time for the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942, where they were assigned to the command of the 1st Infantry Division. They performed well, and the heavyweight Churchills withstood a variety of hardships. A Churchill Mk.III, for example, was hit 30 times but suffered nothing worse than a broken chain during the fierce fighting!
This new KingForce Churchill Mk.III from Dragon Armor is painted in a distinctive camouflage scheme consisting of Light Stone No.61 over the base color SCC No.2 Khaki Brown. The reproduction of the scheme and shades is professionally done. This model tank bears the registration number 'T31954R', with the 'R' indicating that the original tank was redesigned. For modelers looking to own a somewhat rare Churchill in a color other than green, this majestic miniature is fit for a king!
