Description

The AFV Club 35285 – 1/35 Churchill Mk IV TLC Type‑A with Carpet Laying Device is an exceptional scale plastic model kit that accurately represents the British “tank landing craft” variant of the Churchill Mk IV, particularly designed with carpet-laying capability for amphibious operations.

Kit Highlights

  • Purpose-Built Equipment
    Includes a specially engineered “carpet laying device” and supporting canvas “carpet,” used in WWII to provide traction over beach landings and soft ground.
  • Realistic Engineering & Detailing
    The kit boasts a steel coil spring suspension, a cast-style turret, and mudguards faithfully mirroring the real vehicle’s construction. Vision blocks are provided as clear parts for high realism.
  • Metal Barrel & Fine PE Parts
    Comes with an aluminum 6 pdr gun barrel with believable rifling and a photo-etched fret for the carpet device and refined detailing.
  • Structural Accuracy
    Features correctly formed side armor panels with integrated crane-arm mounts, faithful to the Type-A variant’s battlefield role.
  • Comprehensive Kit Contents
    Contains roughly 11 sprues, including a clear part tree, photo-etch details, vinyl tracks, decals, and a nylon tow cable.

Historical Context

The Type-A Churchill TLC was specifically adapted for the D‑Days and subsequent landings, laying down canvas tracks to help Bren Carriers, infantry, and light vehicles traverse unstable terrain after disembarkation. This niche yet crucial support role is captured in remarkable detail through the carpet-laying mechanism.
