Hi,
Have you a drawing of the rear deck of the Cromwell Mk VII? I understand that is the major difference between it and the earlier Mk IV.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Gary

Hi Gary
According to my references the Cromwell Mark VII was just a rebuild/refit of the earlier IV,V and VI types and could have any one of four deck types:

In the belief you are tackling the Tamiya kit you will need to add extra periscopes for the commander.

Thanks for the information. I was hoping to find the SKP kit, but it appears to be hen's teeth.

Look to Accurate Armour for corrections and alterations for the Tamiya Kit. The photo etch elements can be found from a few companies depending on what you want for the build.

I second Darren's comment. The SKP kit is soft in detail (what is there, a fair bit is missing) and suffers from lack of locating points, flash, etc.
