Based on the Churchill infantry tank, the AVRE carried a massive 290mm Petard mortar nicknamed the “Flying Dustbin” due to its large demolition projectile. It was designed to destroy bunkers, barriers, and defensive strongpoints during Allied assaults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChurchill AVRE vehicles played a major role during the Normandy landings and later operations across Europe. They were part of the specialised “Hobart’s Funnies” vehicles created for difficult battlefield conditions. Their engineering role and unusual appearance make them popular subjects among military historians and scale modellers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
