The Churchill Tank, named after the famous British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was a widely developed series of heavy infantry tanks. The basic blueprint followed a pre-WWII tank design based upon trench warfare characteristics of WWI. The Churchill was continuously upgraded to improve its sometimes poor performance. It was a low profile tank that had excellent climbing capabilities, but it lacked firepower and armament. By the end of the war, some late model Churchill's were fitted with 75mm main guns and some had armor that rivaled that of the German King Tiger.

Forces of Valor's 1:72 scale Chuchill Tank almost entirely from diecast metal with only the smallest amount of plastic used in those areas requiring the greatest detail. Among this model's many moving parts are a 360 degree rotating diecast metal turret, elevating metal cannon and rolling rubber tracks and wheels. The top portion of the hull and skirts are constructed in diecast metal, with hand applied dry-brushed weathering effects on areas such as hatches, tow cables, spare track and rivets. Other fine details can be seen on the fuel nozzle (used for flame thrower operations), the hand-painted tank commander and on the suspension.
