Dragon Armor British Churchill MK.IV A Squadron North Irish Horse Tunisa 1943
1/72 Scale
Dragon Armor have announced a fantastic 1/72 scale rendition of the Churchill Mk IV. The accurate miniature model depicts a tank from A Squadron of the North Irish Horse serving in Tunisia in 1943. The North Irish Horse of the British Army landed in Algiers in February 1943 as part of Operation Torch. One of the famous battles was when the unit’s Churchills climbed 'unscalable' heights at Djebel Rhar and helped overcome Afrika Korps troops there. The model’s finished in an unusual, but typical of the period, coat of khaki brown paint. This colour was known officially as Standard Camouflage Colour 2 (S.C.C. No.2) and the vehicle still carries its ship movement stencils. For modellers wishing to strengthen their British tank regiments, this North African Churchill is a must-have item
