Many thanks, Carl!. You've not been much in evidence lately, and so I hope life is treating you well :thumbup: Have a great Christmas, if at all possible!
I guess it's pretty much 'Journey's end' for this project. No doubt many have thought that, and then dusted the cobwebs off, years later. :/ But for now, that's it. :D

It was also pretty much Journey's end for this recce Cromwell, near the Bahnhof, in Hamburg I note that there's a Challenger (elongated Cromwell with a 17-Pounder) just behind the Cromwell. The 17-Pounder Challengers were there to support Cromwells, in the event of a Tiger turning up... 8O :D

David Doyle bought out many of the books from the library of the defunct Squadron/Signal. I have bought some of the German language ones (and one in Polish with a German title fooled me :haha:). Now I am reading and looking carefully through Britische Panzer from the 1970s (that was just yesterday, as I recall). So now I can appreciate your Cromwell more and more.

I always enjoy your unique contributions, Prof :thumbup:
Adam... no way!. :D I'd like a Churchill to add to the Comet, Cromwell, and Firefly I"ve built- if I ever have the years, and the folding to do another 'flatpack'; but detours into Matilda, Crusader,and Challenger territory will have to be strictly off-limits. :lolno:
Hmm..as I recall, one of our Dutch members was working on the Challenger and making a good job of it.
