Chris Ludwig Cromwell

[tomhugill]

The second round of British reinforcements arrived today (I'll post the firefly later). I'm very excited about this one. Chris Ludwig kit, metal swing arms, bearing wheels with rubber tyres, metal tracks and sprockets, every hatch opens, there's internal detail, everything comes apart for servicing. Spot lights work. Details are out of this world. She's going to have a dbc 3 with benedini. I need to figure out how to get a hidden battle system in. Hopefully she will get a full crew. I'll hopefully be able to do her justice in finishing and painting her.

Is it pre built?

Is it pre built?

It's not no, it comes flat pack in styrene sheets. That only gives the basic tank. It's left up to the builder to add as much or little detail as s/he sees fit.

Hell yes, that's what I'm talking about! Absolutely love it, the Cromwell's high on my to-do list. Are those the resin or metal wheels?

Normandy cowl's on the wrong way, though.

Hey the wheels are plastic with rubber tyres and bearings. Haha rookie error, it's not stuck on yet so all good!

Have you built this from scratch? It would e very interesting to see the construction process from the beginning.

Nice score Tom.

Richard, it's a flat pack kit you have to make.

Look at his website.
