after having an outhouse blown up and all over them, "first guy complaining of the smell" Makes ya homesick, doesn't it" crapgame 

I got the Lancaster out the bag tonight and cleaned off all the sprues and had a read of the instructions. Here's the sprues. Not sure where I'm going to put this when it is finished.

Just a 'tank' is such a broad statement. Water, air, fuel, think, fish???? Well, what kind of tank is it, Marc !!??

Oh yeah... and BTW... where's your "just a tank"??????   

here is my target

and my attempt to duplicate

I added the right side forward tool box not realizing it was NOT supposed to go on, and

I just noticed the angled front fenders instead of the smooth curved that came in the kit

I think I may play some more with that before it is finished.

next trip to the LHS I will get some rod to replace the lower barrel of the machine gun since it is not a gun but just a pipe on the real tank.

picture of the tank is from the Lanturn Musuem in Israel

Fantastic.  And excellent tribute to an old warrior. I am going ot get the pics up on my site but if oyu want to put a different finished one up after you do the gun just lemme know.

thanks for the kind words, I need to do another Cromwell just because I like the model. I want to do "A bridge too far" when the Irish Guards are starting down the road, I will have a Cromwell, a firefly, universal carrier and when they come out a 1/48 scale Humber scout car on a long narrow road, then at the other end of the shelf when I can get them a bunch of German anti tank guns in the trees. this is a LOOOOONG term build 

As for the pictures, no problem, I will do the gun {easy} but the fenders are my issue, when I do that I will ask for the picture change
