'Project Cromwell' - 1/16 Cromwell MK IV
'Project Cromwell' - 1/16 Cromwell MK IV
Well after receiving the kit from Chris3 nearly 2 weeks ago I've finally managed to make a start on my first ever semi-scratch build;
- Basic Kit - check
- Cannon - check
- running gear(mix of PIV, Tiger, T-34) - check
- a box full of accessories and donor parts - check
Got to say the basic kits looks great, its going to make a great looking and solid tank.
I have no timeline for this, it will take as long as it takes

Decided to start on the turret, still waiting for a few running gear parts. The parts are very precise and fit together perfectly, giving a solid and strong assembly. Couldn't wait to get the rivets in!! Leaving the top plate loose for access.
