K&C Churchill Tank (1 Viewer)

Hi,

Quick question, I thought I read somewhere that the DD051 Churchill Tank is in a different scale to the usual K&C figures, 1/32 rather than 1/30. Does anyone know if this is true and if so why?

Thanks, Chris

Thats good to know thanks. Do you know if the newer models such as the Sherman Firefly are in 1/32 also?

Can only speak for mine, and if it is it's barely noticeable, goes just fine with the figures.

I believe they are nearer to 1/30th the models coming out now but, someone who has it could let you know for certain.

Thanks guys, would $175 be a reasonable price to pay for this model? I had one once before and only paid $110 for it but I think that was a steal rather than the norm?

looking at the conversion to GBP its a good deal for a sought after AFV

The older K&C AFVs were done to 1/32 scale because they were. No idea why. 3 or 4 years ago K&C increased the size of their AFVs to a full 1/30 scale. No idea why.

I have many of the models and have measured them for scale.

The K&C Churchill is 1/32 and looks small compared to the recent Figarti petard Churchill which is 1/30. Models of Churchill tanks are scarce - $175 is a good price for the K&C Churchill IMO. I wouldn't sell mine for anywhere near that (and it's not for sale anyway)

The Churchill at 1/30 is a big model. I would expect a price close to $300 if K&C made a new one. Figarti may make one at close to the price of their recent Churchill Petard - they just made one except for the gun difference.

The K&C Firefly is a recent model and is 1/30 scale.

I never really stopped to think if it was 1/32 or not. Just always liked it and figures go fine with it. So, if you like it, get it. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
