Not a parsec wasted, Peter. As (former) Cromwell builder, I can only applaud your dedication, and ingenuity,

Painting now finished.

The markings are based on a Tractor shown in a IWM video of the 9th Div. 73rd Anti-tank Regiment RA at the village of Fontenay le Pesnel Normandy. 24th June 1944

As you can see from the internal shot, its all a bit of a squeeze. I might try 1/6th scale next!

This is a master piece, there’s just no other word for it but I do have a question, is it a Cromwell or a crusader. Reason I ask is I have both the crusader and Cromwell tanks and I see some of the crusader characteristics here, especially at the back but as your the builder I’m inclined to go with what you say it is. Being the Cromwell.

Which ever it is, it’s a work of art
It’s your tank it’s what you make it
