Bolt Action Plastic Churchill Tank [28mm]

In this video I build the delightful new plastic Churchill kit in 28mm or 1/56 scale.
This is a very nice kit and a welcome addition to my British force for Bolt Action.
You can build seven variants of the Churchill tank with this box: MkIII, Mk IV, Mk V CS, Mk VI welded turret, Mk VI cast turret, AVRE or NA75. So there are a lot of options.
Unfortunately you can only really build one complete turret. You can almost build both the welded and cast turret, but there aren't enough parts, which is a little disappointing.
Otherwise it's a really great kit and I think it will look great when it is finally painted.

Thank you so very very much. I just could not decipher the whole slot cutting thing from the instructions. I got the tank in a British starter kit so had no real detailed view of the completed tank. I think it would have been helpful if they outlined what gun was what. I was sorely tempted to fit the spigot mortar gun. The Brit troops used to call the shell it fired the "Flying Dustbin". But I chickened out and will use either the 75 mm gun or the 6pdr. Who knew this vid would be so good so many years later. The kit does not seem to have changed by the way.

[@giggabyte6413]

yay, this is my fav tank, I've been wanting you to do this kit more than anything else, my life is complete.

[@Mindauxx]

Amazing build. I have this Churchill in my near future build list. One advice on thick antenna. Heat it with lighter, some 5mm above the mounting point and strech it. Then cut the excess on top. It will be much thinner and more realistic. I really love your stuff. Ive been watching all of your videos non stop for the past month when I build my models! Love your voice, expression, knowledge and jokes, even if I am not directly watching the video itself.

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

A typical good quality Herbert Erpaderp building video.

[@CHA1NZZ]

Must admit i have been wanting to pick up one of these for my Allied collection and this video just makes my need for one concrete, very good video review and build as always

[@gamerhalim4717]

Churchill tank are bad ass

[@stevejones6762]

Nice idea about moulding a second bin - I just got this kit to build so the walk through was really useful especially knowing the top track isn't necessary if you use the mudguards

[@WahooWarrior]

Another Great video, Nice to see Mortamer make a cameo.

[@e-4airman124]

great job

[@raseli4066]

5:17 im whatching this on one of those Samsung Phones

[@la6335]

do you think you will ever get a model ship?

[@boerharms2209]

nice kit! its going onto my never ending ''to build'' list XD have you ever looked into Solido diecast models? they scale reasonably well with 28mm as they're around 1/50 scale. they're really nicely made (very heavy due to diecast construction), often with real working individully linked metal tracks. I recently got a Solido Tiger and im very happy with it.

[@kirotheavenger60]

what! you didnt build the AVRE derp bus ;_;

[@Lo-tf6qt]

A Churchill MK IV , I personally think the MK IV is a little......derpy looking to say the least , MK VII is for me

[@chrisglover2990]

would like to have seen you paint this up

[@vasili1207]

Is that your real name? If it is I will sub .

[@YetanotherScout]

On the topic of Churchill tanks have you ever built the Airfix Churchill VII? it's the only model I can recall I stopped building out of frustration. First the wheel assembly is just silly and for some reason regardless on how much glue I use they find a way to come off. Great video I'm certainly going to have to pickup one of these kits to add to my growing collection of Churchills.

[@markbyrne2847]

I gave up on that kit too.

[@keithmassey3035]

YetanotherScout I gave up once many years ago then gave up again when I tried the Crocodile version years later. I'll go with Warlord in future.

[@nonnatheblizzard2891]

YetanotherScout lol i know how you feel but with a tiger 1( the instruction steet was Chinese) it took me over 4 hours just to do one track side(had to figure it out) lol)

[@jerry2357]

I made that about 50 years ago when I was a child. The wheel assemblies were quite fiddly, but not impossible.

[@edwardkiel3496]

Should have watched PLASMO (although his casting video was released two weeks after this)

[@2007bing]

What Churchill tank is for the desert? Mark 3?

[@Spyronite913]

Hello. Is your knife a special modelling tool or is it just a random sharp object? If it is a modelling tool, how is it called?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It's just a knife. I guess they're called hobby knifes, though I don't know of any other names for them. X-acto is a popular brand. You can get them in hobby shops or office supply stores.

[@static9157]

How come you glue the gun in place? I thought the whole point of that design is you glue the top and bottom of the turret together and this then holds the gun in place but also allows it to be repositioned up or down.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Because I don't want it to move.

[@PanzermansBunker]

Nice build. Too bad you elected to omit the tank commander. Curious to see it painted up. Bill

[@oajh2252]

what's the weather like for you now because I'm currently in a massive thunderstorm... ah sunny Scotland : )

[@GTScaleModelling]

Nothing like good ol' Scottish weather eh! No thunder here (Fife), just a bit moist.

[@oajh2252]

Glasgow certainly has the worst weather!! ;)

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It's been sunny and getting warmer coming into summer. I replaced my windshield wipers the other day, so it's not going to rain for a while. I would prefer rain though.

[@johnbeck3270]

Is the Churchill the model converted to a flamethrower? This kit would make a great place to start, just an idea.

[@jerry2357]

AFAIK, all the Churchill Crocodiles were based on the Mk VII version of the Churchill, which is different from this kit.

[@DatOneAsianKid]

I want cookies ;(

[@sgttea]

Bolt action is ww2 war hammer

[@matizapasowy9913]

Can you do unboxing of German Pioneers?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I do have the German Pioneers. So I will build them eventually. Probably sooner than later actually.

[@ethan5354]

The intro seems to repeat itself after a couple seconds so you say "Greetings, I am Herbert Erpaderp" twice. Maybe for extra emphasis?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I just checked both youtube and the file I uploaded and they both only say it once. Perhaps youtube is broken for you? I was ready to be very embarrassed at having let something like that get past me in editing haha

[@Danthar]

It's doing the same for me, and the repeat has happened on a few different videos.

[@jamesvalentine2845]

well these days we can just mold an extra swowage box. or make one easy enough with thin plasticard. so haha Warlord

[@Dreggman592]

Can i donate more than 10$?
