Voyager Model PE35172 WWII British Churchill Mk.III Infantry Tank Fenders for AFV CLUB 35153 1/35

The Voyager Model PE35172 set is a professional photo-etched fender kit dedicated to the AFV Club 35153 model, depicting the British infantry tank Churchill Mk.III in 1/35 scale. This upgrade set was created for modelers seeking a higher level of realism and detail for their WWII-era models and dioramas. The kit includes precisely made details from thin brass photo-etched sheets, which allow for an exact reproduction of the delicate mudguard shields—elements that cannot be faithfully represented with standard plastic sprues.

The Churchill Mk.III is one of the most important British tank designs, used extensively during World War II, particularly in the battle of El Alamein, the Italian campaign, as well as the actions in Normandy and on the Western Front. A distinguishing feature of these tanks was their robustness, high armor resistance, and wide tracks protected by a fender system, which were often damaged in combat. Mk.III versions were equipped with a 6-pounder gun and featured an improved turret design.

The Voyager Model PE35172 set allows you to replace the original thick plastic fenders with extremely detailed parts, which can be individually bent, shaped, and even distressed, greatly enhancing the realism of the finished model. The photo-etched elements enable advanced weathering and battle-damage effects, which are especially valued by experienced modelers.

We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to showcase their Churchill Mk.III model at the highest level. The assembly difficulty level of this set is rated at 4/5: installing the photo-etched details requires precision, experience, and the use of specialized tools such as photo-etch cutters and bending tools. Voyager Model PE35172 is an investment in authenticity and a unique display for any historical diorama.
