Well, with the latest project about to hit the paint shop a new project has to be chosen to feel the wrath of my glue brush, this time a 1/76 scale Airfix Cromwell looked the obvious candidate sticking nicely with my 'Green for now' Theme  I intend to build this one as out the box, with the usual adding of missed detail that Airfix saw fit to miss  ATB Sean |

Thanks mate, its a 'new tooling' kit so should go together quite nicely.
I have 2 of these in the stash, but I have a plan for a ' kit bash' for the second one.... I did intend to build a Cavalier with the second one, but the differences between it, the Centaur and Cromwell are next to none visually, I could of gone down the ARV route but that would of required a lot of work. What I have planned is a lot less work scratch buildingwise and a bit different.... All will be revealed in the future....

One of my favorite allied tanks, I built one a year ago in 1:35 scale as a rustbucket.
Have a blast bud !

Construction more or less done, this has to be one of the best Airfix armour kits I've ever built in regards of ease of construction and level of detail, I highly recommend it. Will start to add some stowage and maybe some camo netting to this one next.   ATB Sean |

Hi Sean
How does this compare size wise to the 1/72 stuff you've done? It looks a really nice kit and I was wondering if it would fit in with my stuff?
Thanks
Andrew

At this scale if you put the two scales side by side I'd reckon the 1/72 would be about 4mm longer compared to the 1/76. As I explained in one of our other conversations, when I used to game I had both 1/76 and 1/72 mixed together, in both Allied and Axis forces, you just have to make sure you buy all the same make/chassis in all the same scale, past that you'd not notice. |

Nets, mud ( made believe it or not from Semolina/PVA as a test, and Semolina/ PVA and Humbrol 'Earth' weathering powder mix, also as a test ), and stowage added. Figure from Milicast. Paint next.... Soon...ish.....   ATB Sean |

Even though I'm currently looking at this on my phone, I reckon this has to be one the best I've seen you do.
A really nice weathered finish, dirty but not too dirty, great camo and excellent stowage. Great job!

Beautiful finish!!! Really dig the camo net and the red bike as it really draws my attention.
