Churchill Mrk. III. (Part 1)

Purchasing the First Model

So when purchasing my first model what did I take into account?

  • Price?
  • Size?
  • Difficulty?
  • Type of Model? Vehicle etc?
  • Brand?

In reality, none of these had a massive effect. I was in a rush, so I went into the shop and made a quick purchase. Type of model had a slight effect as I wasn't interested in sports cars or motorbikes or anything like that; I did want something with historical or military significance (something that actually meant something in other words). Apart from that my choice was quite rash. I ended up buying a Churchill Mrk. III tank model made by Italeri (pictured below). It cost me a comfortable £6.99 from my local Toymaster and I also bought myself some superglue for £1.99. So all in all I'm out £8.98 on this little venture and paints etc. have not yet come into the equation. I think things seem to be rather affordable at present.
