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.

Michael,
Looks great! I like the look of the Covenater, looks like a race car...
Cheerio!

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