I just finished building the AFV Club Churchill Mk IV. It's a pain in the fucking ass. My recommendation:
If you like Churchill but don't care about tiny details, buy the Tamiya one.
If you like Churchill and do care about detail, buy the Tamiya one and the photo etch set for it and scratch build the commander cupola periscopes (super easy).
The little bit of extra detail is not worth the overengineering, fiddly as fuck suspension assembly, poor fit on every fiddly part and generally high part count and irritatingly tiny unnecessary pieces.
If you have it in your stash already some build tips to make it less frustrating: just glue the workable suspension all in place, it's not worth it. And don't glue any of the fender related parts on to the body until you absolutely have to, they're several seperate pieces and they all have wonky fit AND several parts depend on them being perfectly aligned several pages later but they're is no proper guides to make sure they are properly aligned and if they're even a little off you are in for pain.
