After converting two Revell Cromwell kits, I obviously painted the model.
Nothing overly special, just a brushed-painted coat (or two) of Tamiya olive green followed by a black wash and some drybrushing with, as I recall, Revell light olive. The tracks are some dark red-brown, I’m not sure what, with a metallic drybrushing, and the tyres are black — there’s not really much more to painting models like this.
The decals are from one of the Cromwell kits, as this is a wargames model and I also used these on the Cromwells with which this Challenger is intended to be fielded. The figure is an old one from a Matchbox kit (or perhaps a Revell reissue of one), to give a human touch to the model.
