1/72 Churchill Mk.III "Fitted for Wading", 14th Canadian Armoured Regiment, Dieppe 1942
The Churchill infantry tank is a most distinctive design with its
extremely long chassis and wraparound tracks. Named after the British
minister of defense of the time, the Churchill tank was very well
armored. It was produced in a series of versions that offered heavier
armor and more powerful armament as the war progressed. The Mk.III,
weighing in at 39,626kg, arrived on the scene in March 1942. It featured
a 6-pounder gun in the all-welded turret, and the hull-mounted howitzer
fitted in previous variants was deleted. For amphibious operations,
Churchill tanks could be fitted with special deep-wading devices. The
Churchill Mk.III was famously involved in the failed landing at Dieppe
in northern France on 19 August 1942.
