Actually I like the idea of someone doing different tanks. Considered Churchill also, as well as the Matilda II, and Chi-Ha. LOT of bogies.

I have
always liked early WW2 armour and since I'd like to build a better detailed tank I chose the Churchill for it's complexity in detail, also because it hasn't been built in the hobby yet. The exposed tracks are absolutely great and the road wheel lay out is very special.

I noticed, this will give me a lot more space then the StuG.

Thanks John, it shows that it is just a bit wider then my StuG.
