Chris Ludwig Cromwell

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

43rdRecceReg wrote::sick: with envy! I'd rather have a detailed Cromwell than any other tank. It also looks to me as if the builder has done a pretty fair job of work, and chosen virtually all of the options available for it from Chris's website..with the exception of the (approx.) £250 set of alloy wheels. I just love that unmistakable Cromwell turret. The giant rivets make it look like the WW2 inspiration for the Dalek! :haha: :haha:
When I've finished my ill-fated PZ 4 project, it'll be a choice: Tamiya Panther G full option (bought and assembled in stages if poss..to spread the eye-watering costs); or, the Cromwell with all options (also bought and assembled in stages). Which option is most seductive? :think: THE CROMWELL of course, every time...that little Dalek-lookalike minx!
Would it be rude, or churlish to ask what she set you back, Tom?
I'd go for the Cromwell too! (Although probably the comet if I was buying from scratch). Price wise I paid £400, that included a brand new 2.4 transmitter and reciver, dbc3 benedini combo, rx 18 most of the bits to finish, so IMO it was an absolute steal!

Be interesting to see how it sounds.

I'm doing similar with my centurion.

Steal at £400.

Hopefully like this! (The dbc is from Dan and the benedini has his sounds)

This tank looks awesome. I love Cromwells. One question, what is the DBC unit?
