Airfix 1/76 British Cruiser tank A27 Cromwell MKVII

[Alan 45]

while I'm in practice mode I dug out this little thing keep me busy while paint is drying and I must admit I enjoyed doing the little feller


Built oob and I just added a couple of rolls of tarp to give it something, brush painted in revell dark green and given a pin wash of citadel nulin oil wash then dry brushed in revell light olive to give a dusty look and finished off with a dry brush of revell Earth brown View attachment 120075

Very nice of you to say Frederick :rolleyes:

 

[John Rixon]

Yup, agree with the above, a little belter!

 

[Robert1968]

I like this Alan and will keep this noted down for when I get round to doing my Cromwell and centaur


I like the use of colours and the weathering tech seems simple yet very effective


Cheers

Awesome work Alan it looked a lot bigger than 1/72 until you added the paint pot great work

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I appreciate that


It's good to go back to the beginning sometimes , sometimes the simplest paint effect can turn out effective

 

[PaulTRose]

i love braille scale, takes me back to being a kid, i guess

Hi Alan


Thats a great Braille Scale Cromwell - super finish!


Planning any more 1/72 armour? This scale screams diorama.


Cheers

I have a sd kfz 7 with 88mm and a Sherman m4a2 in 1/72 but I only do this scale to fill gaps in modelling but I'm thinking of putting this one on a little base if I can find a cheep building or if I can scratch build one

 

[Doug Hughes]

That's a super paint job, Alan. Nothing overdone - just looks great and a lot bigger than 1/76.

 

[ojays]

Excellent, even more so at such small scale.

As usual I don't really know but it looks just right to the untrained eye! Either way its a great wee Beastie

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I appreciate it


I now have to buy a small picture frame as I don't have one in the stash

 

[dubster72]

Very nicely done Alan, I've seen 1/35 Cromwells that didn't look as nice.

 

[monica]

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I appreciate that
