AFV Club AF35259 1/35 Churchill AVRE with Snake Launcher

Model Tank Kit

The Churchill AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers) was one of the most specialized variants of the famous British Churchill infantry tank, developed to support combat engineers during World War II. Designed to breach obstacles, destroy fortifications, and clear defensive positions, the AVRE became a key component of the Allied “Funnies” used during the Normandy landings and later campaigns. AFV Club’s 1/35 scale kit captures the Churchill AVRE equipped with the Snake mine-clearing launcher, a unique British engineering system that projected a flexible explosive-filled hose across minefields to create safe paths for advancing troops and vehicles. Featuring finely molded details, accurate armor features, and specialized engineering equipment.
