churchill tank question

That's funny.  I hope it's true.

I see, I heard the joke about the dieppe raid was that the Germans thoughts the churchills were used cause the British wanted to get rid of them

Bish is correct, the 6 Pdr was a 57mm gun. It had a higher velocity and better AP capabilities than the US 75mm gun that was later mounted in Churchills, Cromwells, etc. but the 75mm had a superior HE round.

I believe a 6 pounder is about 57mm, but I am far from an expert on these types of weapons. I do think that second kit would be a better option. Though as hide from the snorkels, I am not sure what other visible changes were made.

is the 6 pounder equivalant to a 75mm gun, there is a mrkin in there for 1942 I believe

is this a better kit for a dieppe churchill

I can't see the wading kit in the sprue layout. And there would also be the issue of markings. And I am not sure about the gun. The Mk III had a 6 pounder.

wouldnt this kit be the same? I was looking at the plans for it and it looks as if it has the deep wading kit on it?

Yeah, I was thinking of just getting a Mk. III and going from there

I did find one site which said 25th July, but as we know, that doesn't always mean anything.

I do not think that Churchill kit has been released yet.

And if your after a kit, which I am guessing you are, Churchill are bringing one out(or may have even released it).

I would imagine they would be on all. Would make sense to only fit them to some. Heres some more

 As for which mark of Churchill, they were a mix of Mk I, II and III.And it says they were all adapted to wade in upto 6 feet of water.

That makes sense, now was that on every Churchill at dieppe? Or just on a few

If you mean the 2 bent pipes as here by Inside the Armour (other vendors like Millicast & Resicast are available ) they are the exhaust pipe extensions, bolted directly to the the exhaust manifold, & part of the deep wading kit.
