I like that Michael. I don't know much about early British Tanks though. Will this be a BEF tank or will it have a desert finish?

Neither, likely. Covenanters saw no combat (OK, 2 or 3 tanks in North Africa and that's it). Markings would, for the vast majority, be home defence units or units in training. There's a nice colour photo of a Covenanter in England in SCC2 Service Colour (i.e. Fresh Dogsh*t Brown) and the vast majority would be in either Green G3 or SCC2.

Excellent looking model. For a change you might consider Polish markings. Some good pics in Andrzej Kaminski's "OD ACROMY DO ZWYCIEZCY" Volumes 6 and 7. Good luck

Nice job, british tanks always seemed under gunned, being cruisers and all.

Hi Ossie

Nice work, only observation would be the tracks seem to be riding above the road wheels.
