Thanks guys for your help and support! :thumbup:
this external fuel tank topic is curious but whatever ... I´ll see ;)

Next step: before finishing the hull with all details I switched over to the turret.

First I put on a cast structure at the 3D printed turret parts (series produced turrets will be casted too).

Good afternoon,
This is a work of Art. Clean, detailed, you can see how good it's going to look assembled and under paint.

When I'm done with Cromwell, I'll be waltzing Matilda! It should make an amazing kit, and I'd be surprised if it's not sold in appreciable numbers. I have to say that apart from the meticulous detailed work, the photographic presentation's pretty impressive too. Outstanding, in fact :clap:
