Very good Martin!! Beautifull tank and very nice details.
Are you going to put it in for the Walcheren campaign?

Paul

Martinn, looks like you're getting better and better every time i see your work

it this the old academy kit?

Mirko

Nice build of one of Tamiya's least-expected (and best) models.

One question - what happened to the wheels centres??

Not sure about the steel helmet, it might be better with the RAC rimless type (similar to the para one)

Hi Martin!

It looks very good and I can see you have gonne the "extra mile" on this one
Accept two suggestions of this Salty Dog:
1 - Include a photo of the Cromwel as when you joined the Big A (you don't have to be ashamed - we all had to start and no one starts a "MasterModeler");
2 - drill the Brens muzzles - it is a easy job and it will improve a lot your already excellent Cromwel

Keep up the good work

Well it was not my intention but if the kit qualifies for it......why not lol. But did the Polish forces participate in the Walcheren campaign? I thought they only covered the British/Candian right flank...

Let me know!

2 - Well I've heard people drill them out with sharp knifes but I'm very interested in other methodes as well. How to drill out barrels?

Hi Martin, about the Polish forces:
There were Polish divisions with Cromwell tanks and Cruiser_mkvi A30 Challengers that liberated the eastern part of Zeeuws Vlaanderen. Check this thread from Zeeuwtje (aka Ad Brons)

Barrels:
I make a start with a sharp knife and then drill it out further whit a very small drill ( 0,5 mm or less) sticked in a pinvise (translation pinvise = een soort aluminium boorhoudertje met een boorkopje. Proedge heeft ze bijvoorbeeld. Je kan het met je vingers ronddraaien en tussen je vingers en de handpalm klemmen. Zeer handig!).

Paul

I would almost say '' Martinnnn jongen, boor nou eens die MG's uit!! :-) :-) ''

Martin, your Cromwell looks really good and much better than first version One nitpick is that 'Hela' was a command tank so should have mock-up barrel. Anyway you did great job, especially with camo netting

Piotr

looks realy good! better then my centaur! nice one! how did you make that camo net?

[Sounds like I have to modernise my toolkit....still working with not much more than a knife, sanding paper and glue lol

Martin

Hi Martin- your cromwell is much improved. Well done, it looks so much nicer. It's such a fine looking tank that it needs to be well-dressed!
