This is fun to follow! I've been collecting parts for another Cromwell build myself after doing one years ago when the kit was newly released.

Thanks for the interest! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Started assembling panzerwerk tracks. I was a little worried how they will work after my experiences with panzerart 3d tracks. These work perfectly. Not brittle at all and track pins stay in their place.

Another fender is done. Lower hull is maybe 90% done. Turret needs a bit more work. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/qRfqvmWZ/DSC-3693.jpg)

Made the common field mod, rack for the cans. Also my friend gave me couple late war style water cans, a very common sight in cromwells. Those are firma49 3d prints. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/T14kdw9w/DSC-3713.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/gcStqSWW/DSC-3714.jpg) Antenna base is from lithokraft. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/zvBtYWT6/DSC-3716.jpg)

Hello Jukka - Great looking construction, very exact observations on the details. I had picked up the Airfix release of the Cromwell/Centaur and read it was about 2mm shorter than Tamiya. Can you measure your hull length as in the diagram below? The 5955mm scales down to about 170.1mm so am curious what Tamiya has. Mind you the diagram may not be accurate. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/7bvr9Wss/cromwell-armour-1-hull-length.jpg)

Tamiya hull is pretty accurate if that drawing is correct. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/xdghmHnX/DSC-3919.jpg)

Thanks much for the confirmation.
Have joined a FB group dedicated to the Centaur/Cromwell and someone had posted the same diagram of Russian origins. One member confirmed that from what can be discerned of the legible measurements, it does look to be an accurate document.
