Hi my friends,
I want to show you my latest effort. It is Cromwell Models new T-80UD in 1/72. This little beast is a da*n nice kit with amazing details casted on. I built it straight from the "bag". Painting was done with Valejo Acrylic colors. Weathering and chipping with oils. I really enjoyed this project. I hope you like it, any comments appreciated.
Here we go:
Best regards,
Andreas

Wow Andreas! Just came across your little beauty! Is the turret actually hollow enough to add the interior detail? Really nice job on it!

Hello friends!
Thanks a lot for your compliments, yes, it really is 1/72 but never had such detailled kits in this scale. After this kit Im really stucked now to this scale^^
Kerry, yes the turret is molded completely hollow with most details already casted in place, really nice casting all in all.
Thanks again,
Andreas

Not sure if I should be more impressed with you model or you actually getting a model from Cromwell to build!!! Lol

Hey Scott, thanks for your compliment. Well, to be honest I was aware of some discussions going on about CromwellModels but wanted to make my own experience. I ordered before my vacation, after I came back (4 weeks after my order, If I remember correctly) the kit was here and my CC was only charged AFTER I got my model. So my compliments and I had no troubles at all.

Very nicely done! I agree about the interior. Never would have thought there would be one for a 1/72. I can't even find CromwellModels' website.
