Bumbling through the Cromwell build allows me to really appreciate the skill and enterprise that went into this conception. This, like the Matilda, is an actual joy to behold :thumbup: :wave:

there was an idea of a well known company in the east, probably will be releasing an M60, but after all the project was canceled…but who knows, maybe another one grabs this task 8O
