Italeri 7083S 1:72 Brit. Churchill Mk. III Model Building Kit, Standing Model Building, Crafts, Hobby, Gluing, Plastic Kit, Multi-Coloured

The Churchill medium tank was put into service with the British Army in 1942 to support and replace the earlier Valentines, Matildas and Crusaders, all of whom were obsolete at that time and inadequate in terms of armor and armament, and easily fell victim to the more advanced German tanks. Equipped with thick armor and a reliable motor, it proved tough and reliable and was later produced in increasingly powerful, improved versions. Its chassis has also been used as a platform for special support vehicles such as the mine cleaver, the bridgelayer and the flamethrower.
