...but this little lot has already taken me the best part of three + years to assemble
and they could still do with a few tweaks (baggage, tools etc..) How's that for stoicism, and staying power, though? 
...and I had no recourse to medicinal ( 
) support throughout the process. Beyond, that is, some amber nectar libations on the more frustrating build days; of which- it must be said- there were quite a few. 
Te Firefly M41c is fully functional and a joy to drive. The Comet has an issue with a track with a sticking segment at present, and has an as yet unresponsive recoil, but is otherwise fully functional. It drives, elevates, smokes, and the turret turns nicely. Sounds are good too (Tiger 1, for the moment on the tk 6.1s MFU). The Cromwell passed all of its initial tests, but a track lock up (weak springs, I think) may have damaged the Clark TK 60 on board. Some day, I'll sort all that out. I might even install the HL TK 6.1s unit in it (160 amp rated) as it appears to be very robust. Meantime, I can enjoy the Comet and the Firefly.
...especially in weather like this: wall to wall sunshine today- (not such a rare event in The Highlands as folk might suspect).Oh, and a footnote. For those interested in the colour, it's SCC15 British Olive Drab (1944-45 formula) and, as far I can tell, it's pretty close to the original WW2 shade, and quite distinct from the paler Olive Drab used on US WW2 tanks. It's an excellent MIG product, and flows nicely, without thinners, from the airbrush. In fact, I think MIG is probably the only acrylic maker that produces this British shade; but I could be wrong.
that colour looks excellent for British armour, I must remember it for when I finally get around to painting mine 
(There is never a sarcasm emoji when you need one),

It's just a shame that there wasn't a suitable HE shell for it.
