Well I start a new model and teach you ...
This is a Tamiya Cromwell Mk IV, which will add a few gratings of the same brand, drag a few of the brand Minimeca and Aber cannon with a lot of pieces tremble just thinking about it. Well I leave with you the photos prior model, box etc, the progress in brief ....

Looks like you are off to a nice start!

Good luck!

What tracks are you going with Felix, the kit or AM links? I tried the Hobby Boss links as they were cheap. A bit fiddly with the small narrow links, but not too bad can get a nice sag anyway.

Well some progress in this car, which at this very good lace.

Loosen soil have also designed the cannon, the machine gun.

If you're going to all that trouble to improve your Cromwell, then you should also add the correct engine deck. Tamiya based their model on the Cromwell at Bovington, which never received the upgraded Type D engine deck which was mounted on virtually all Cromwells before they went into combat in 1944. It had a more sensible arrangement of access panels for the engine and radiators. The kit depicts the original Type C hull. Accurate Armour in the UK sells a resin replacement part. You might also consider the later all round vision cupola, which was added to many Cromwells before the Normandy landings (the original cupola, as shown in the kit, had only two periscopes facing front and aft).

Thanks for the answer, you could tell me what is the website? I'll see if I can buy ..

nice start

little tip for you. i always hollow out the end of any machine gun, a little detail that makes a big difference.

i do this using the tip of a brand new 10A scalpel blade. post more pix soon and let us know what you're going to do with the cupola and engine deck

Google is your friend.

Thanks!!

Here I leave with you more progress on this tank. He finished the barge and I put the grills on the engine. I have printed in gray. and you're ready to paint. Likewise, I have begun with the turret and the cannon is now mounted in Aber and I felt great. I have also pierced the guns, to try to make them more real. Photos:

Well mounting the turret and you're all ready to start painting:

Nice work !!!!


I love british armour !!!

Hi Marcos, thanks for your answer, the truth is that I also love the British tanks.

The photos correspond to the painting of the first layer.

And these are the second and last layer pending the clarification, I think it was pretty good:

Well before you leave the clear the rest of the assembly, the photos:

Now cleared of Dark Green. For my have been pretty good. Could have been better but also worse. I hope reviews:







I tried to clarified by the work areas.

Looks good, felix. A very nice build so far. The fading of the base coat seems very light to me, but that might be because of the flash. Anyway, a few washes will probably tone it down.

Looking forward to see more.

Well Cromwel more photos. I have placed the decals, one of them broke and I had to improvise, painting in white was not good but not bad. Then I painted in bright, waiting to start treating oil, a model for aging.

Here are the photos of treatment with oil paintings. The truth is that for the fat of the painting does not have an unusual layout I decided to put 24 hours into an absorbent kitchen paper and you will see that it is even better. You will observe the surrounding fat. Then just what is the pigment of the paint treatment on the tank is better. Photos:

Hi felix,

Coming along really well. The tracks should sit on the centre 3 road wheels only as the rode above the other two. There are a great set fo references on Toadmans here:

Well some more progress, I was little, assembly tools, etc boxes. And dusty light Flat Earth! photos:

That's looking really good. Just one point - WW2 fire extinguishers were olive green, not red.
