Graeme's Airfix Cromwell

[Graeme C.]

Here's my contribution to the Little Armour GB, an Airfix Cromwell, first the obligatory sprue shot.

I hope you're turret is in better shape than mine was Graeme!

It's not a bad kit, with just a little bit of flash to clean up, the gun barrel needed some work, but it has gone together nicely and quite quickly too. The parts are so small, I'm just too used to 1/35 armour.

 

[Graeme C.]

Sorry Peter, crossed posts! Fortunately the turret on mine was fine, glad to see you managed to fix yours.

 

[Durk]

Nice start Graeme, must be an uncomplicated build, hope to see some paint on soon.

Nice build Graeme. Just the question of a few wheels and tracks to do. Or as I like to say the bar steward phase

 

[Graeme C.]

Dirk, Steve, thanks guys, wheels & tracks to sort yet!
A bit more progress, with a few more bits attached to the hull & turret, decided to go for the D-Day version with the wading stack. Wheels & sprockets have be cleaned up ready for assembly.

 

[stillp]

Check all the wheels fit the axles Graeme!

Pete

 

[Graeme C.]

I saw you had a bit of bother with those, thanks for the heads up.

Morning Graeme.
Like the wading stack, caught my eye as soon as saw the model. Sorry I'm late, but only recently found out with help of Simon how to find what everyone's building.
Will pay more attention in future.

A big fan of the D Day look Graeme so I am glad you went that way. All looking very neat indeed

 

[Graeme C.]

John, glad you found it, I'm still trying to find threads on here!
Steve, thanks, the D-Day look is an interesting one, a bit different on a model.

Not done much this week, been a bit busy, just put the wheels together. Next up, paint, when I get a bit of time.

Just caught this one myself Graeme, very nice work so far.

 

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Ian, good to have you along.
Just got the primer on, 1/76 does seem very small when you're airbrushing, at least compared to 1/35!

Graeme,
Lovely job so far, all credit to you guys that can model the tiny stuff I have enough problems with the bigger stuff.

 

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Paul, there are some very nice builds in this GB.

 

[Graeme C.]

A bit more progress, I now have paint, the upper hull & turret have primer, but the lower hull, wheels & tracks have a base coat. A bit more to do before I can assemble them.

 

[Steve Jones]

Coming along nicely Graeme. Some nice shading there also. Keep it comin mate

 

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Steve, there's a bit to do, but it may take a while, house hunting and all that goes with it to do!

 

[Graeme C.]

It's been over a month since I posted any progress on my Cromwell build, all the stuff that goes with moving has rather got in the way. The Tracks & wheels are on, with the base coat SCC15 on, still plenty to do!
