My final effort for today was to start the Cromwell.
Still have no idea where to start so I started here

Whether you start with hull, upper hull, or turret doesn't matter all that much.
With the lower hull- where you've begun- with hindsight, I would have paid much more attention to getting the best arrangement for the swingarms I could manage, in my build. Just give it a good bit of thought. It's easier to test, and configure, the swing-arm arrangement, if you haven't bonded the side plates together first. In Christian's Pdf., that's not entirely clear. I'll look forward to seeing how you progress. Bon chance!

I’m unsure on wether to use the tiger suspension or the system I have but hull wise that’s pretty much how it will stay until suspension is in place

To this one as well

Were those grey printed-looking parts supplied by Christian? If so, he's made some revisions to the 'basis kit'.

Should save on the grey primer, then I can see one improvement on the kit I bought, however: the holes for the track tensioner and idlers are already in place.
For my project, I had to make a template, and use it to drill them myself.

My idlers and tensioners should come in the new year so I guess we will see how good an improvement it is, best I can tell though the come with a pre-cut piece to help get them in the best place during installation as well as having the holes pre drilled
