1/76 Cromwell Mk lV Airfix
Posted by Est.1961 on Friday, April 17, 2020 6:50 PM

This has been sitting on the shelf for a while now. I haven't built a tank in decades the next will definitely be 1/35. Small and very fiddly; I'm pleased with it but treating it as a learning curve some obvious errors.      " alt="" />

Thanks Mike,                                                  A few more left, on the bright side they don't take up a lot of space.

Nice job! I like the addition of the hedgerows "trimmers".

Pleased you liked them, I wanted a chance to try some heavy weathering that a tool like that might build up.

Oh that's cool, always thought the Cromwell was a good lookin' tank.

This is one of Airfix's older kits right? I think I've seen them in cataloge's back in the '80s unless it's a new mold.

Rebox 2012, These turned up in a cut price supermarket called Aldi, with a couple of others including the smallest Cutty Sark I have ever seen couldn't resist them. I had a cunning plan for the Cromwells.
