The Churchill MK IV is a British heavy infantry tank from World War II. It became one of the most recognizable Allied vehicles during the war. Produced in the years 1941-1945, it was modified many times, and many special vehicles were created on its basic design. The Churchill turned out to be a successful design valued for its strong armor, low silhouette and mobility in difficult terrain. The MK. IV was equipped with a six-pound (57 mm) gun. The Churchill was used in the fighting in North Africa, Italy and Western Europe.
The Churchill MK. IV model from COBI construction blocks was produced in 1:48 scale. Noteworthy is the dark shade of green, so far rarely used in COBI models. The set is easy to build, perfect for the beginning of the adventure with Polish construction blocks. It has a movable cannon, a rotating turret and working tracks. All graphic details are high-quality prints that do not wear off even during intensive use. The advantage is the design that uniquely reflects the original shapes of its historical inspiration. The model of the Churchill tank will be perfect as a toy, but also a unique element of any collection of a fan of military and armored weapons.
