OXFORD DIECAST 76CHT003 1:76 OO SCALE Churchill Tank 142 RAC Tunisia 1943
This Churchill Mk III Tank is a reminder of the tank's deployment to North Africa between 1941 and 1944. Following the Second Battle of Alamein (Operation Kingforce), a military decision was made to despatch two Army Tank Brigades to Tunisia to support the First Army there.
One of these brigades was the 142 (Suffolk) Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps. They arrived just as one of the major battles for Kasserine Pass was taking place and throughout 1943 were heavily involved against Rommel's forces.
Presented in a two tone dark and lighter green camouflage scheme, the remaining body parts are painted grey, including tracks, cables, suspension springs, rear deck tools and machine guns.
The model is a perfect partner for tank 76CHT001 which launched the Churchill Mk III series and which commemorated the 'Kingforce' campaign of El Alamein.
