Nice Crommie you have there. The only thing to say is that the decals semm a lil brand new compared to the rest of the tank which is nicely weathered. I believe that they should have some bad treating also !!!! I am looking for the correct Grern for my Churchill Crocodile. Which one should be in Model Masters Acrylics ? Instructions say just "dark green" so any suggestions ?
Thanks

Thanks mates,
I miss some weathering, so the decals should come out better after that. Some of my
"brownish" wash came out a little too much in contrast to the green, so i“ll try to blend
it a little more.
The fireex. is actually paintet brass as per instructions, since i have never seen a
colour pic. of a Cromwell, i“m not sure if it should be hull colour or brass.
The paint is tamiya XF65 i think ... i“ll look it over when i get home from work - i have a
conversionsheet that should show the numbers with other brands.
The tank i OTB with the Tamiya etch and new handles from wire on some of the hatches.
Its probably one of the best kits i have ever built - current projekt is the Dragon T-34/85,
its kinda ok, but i“m really looking forward to the next projekt, the Acadamy M10 Duckbill.
It“s happy days for modellers...

the resin parts are incredible but the white metal is pretty bad.
the instructions in my AA staghound were pretty good though!

I was originally down as doing the Rover Ambulance but having looked at it didnt fancy it.
I did however start a Churchill Croc a couple of days ago - if poss I'd like to enter this instead, nothing fancy, staright out of the box.
Als, am I allowed to enter the same model in two diff campaigns?

Hi, I've updated my gallery showing my Bishop progressing. Hopefully I'll get the tracks on it and build the limber this week or so. My son's Chieftain is also coming along and is in my gallery also.
This life is not a dress rehearsal, so don't balls it up!

Could you please count me out this one. Better safe than Sorry.
