Hi James,
Looking good so far, the Cromwell is a nice build.
You could add a ton more stowage to the rear, that's a nice big flat deck to work with 
Is the vehicle moving or stationary? You might want to move the 2nd crewman so that he is looking more towards the way the commander is pointing, or move the commander around a bit towards the front of the turret, so that the interaction between then is better.
Don't forget the cables and the jerry can by the front MG is in a bad position as it would interfer wiht the field of fire of the MG.
Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Hi Alan thanks for the comments, yes the Cromwell really is a nice build, a true 'shake and bake' kit.
Plan A did indeed have a lot more stowage on the rear deck, but as this was supposed to be a quick and easy build, I chickened out. However, It does seem far too sparse so I'll likely revert back to having more stuff on there.
The tank will be stationary, but don't worry about the interaction between the figures, they were just 'dropped' in for the purpose of the photo's, they will be put in with far more care later on.
The cables are built, replacing picture hanging wire for the Tamiya string, however, they have been left off for painting and will need to be glued down to sit properly.
The Jerry can doesn't actually interfere with the hull besa, and a few reference pics I have show Cromwells with a jerry can or a bundle of stowage in this location, make use of any space available, was obviously the motto!
Thanks again, i'll post some more pics of my progress,
James
