Hello All!
I've had a real hard time posting pics here, even following the instructions.
Please see the below link, and feel free to critique... this is the only way I'll learn.
Thanks, Jorge

Looks good. Glueing down the top run of tracks is about the only change I would make.

Posting pictures from photobucket is super easy. Roll over the image as a thumbnail, and you'll see four text boxes marked"Email & IM, Direct Link, HTML Code, and IMG Code" Copy and pastethe IMG code into the textbox on Armorama, and you have your image!
The tracks on Cromwells were supposed to sag enough to touch the top of the 2nd and 4th road wheels from the front.

Hi Scott,
I upload all my pics to photobucket and copy and paste the links as necessary. Might be worth checking out.
Nice looking kit, only observation is that the track should sit on the centre 3 wheels and ride above the 1st and last wheels. You should be able to glue it to the tops of the centre 3 wheels. Like your mud colour but you need to spread a little onto the track too. Add a commander and some antenana and away you go.

Thnk you, Gents, for the comments.
Any idea on what color I should use to paint the square cans (usually oil cans) located on the right-rear fender? You can see them on the pic above (I painted them with Gunze steel).
NOw, on to affix the tracks correctly, and see what additional stowage I can rumage for the engine deck.
Thanks!

Hi Jorge,
I normally do my cans dark green and use some pencil to show worn areas. Try doing one or two of the road wheels a slight different colour, either lighter or darker than the rest. For stowage you have a nice big flat deck, but I would tend to keep the level underneath that of the gun barrel otherwise the rurret won't rotate.
