No - that's not normal. At all.

Normal is that you do this - and the 8th Army & DAK  :d  :D

Normal AVRE


I don't have the fascine carrying one - but I'm sure I've seen a pic, have you looked at madaxeman's?

The REAL Churchill, of course, is on a horse, either leading an army of the Grand Alliance, or getting into trouble in the Sudan.

Since a facine is just a big bundle of logs it's hadly the most complicated item to make up and add to a Churchill methinks.  ;)

That's true :)

Better go shrink some wood with the shrinkray in the garden shed :p

Does anyone know if fascines were only transported by the engineers (so on AVRE's) or did they add them to normal tanks too? I think i can recall seeing one on a normal churchill in a piccie once, but i'm not sure.

Have a browse through the Woodland Scenics range - I think that's where I got mine. I believe it's the stuff they use for OO reeds etc.
