Churchill Tank AH

“The Meteor engine roared as the massive Churchill tank lumbered forwards, the squealing tracks crushing the concealing undergrowth with the weight of forty tons. The long barrel of the high velocity seventeen pounder gun quested as if sniffing the air for a scent of the enemy.”
The Foresight War pg.231

“Load AP! Gunner, fire when ready!”
The Churchill II rocked under the violent kick of the powerful gun the tracer of the APDS shot a brief streak as the projectile covered the distance in half a second. There was a pause then the Panzer’s turret suddenly lifted into the air in a flash of flame.
The Foresight War pg. 266

The Churchill is an alternate history tank from the novel The Foresight War. Historically the Churchill was a very different tank. I decided that the Churchill was most likely an earlier version of the Centurion tank from our history. A few things are different in my model with the turret being closer to a Cromwell tank with Centurion features.
