1/76 Cromwell cruiser IV tank build.

[Guest]

Kevin,
That is a great start for your first ever kit build, and as you say you are having fun and that is the main thing to remember.
Cheers, Mike.

Mike thanks for your comments. I’m looking forward to doing the weathering which will be a first.

Hi I had to apply a new coat of base paint to the Cromwell tank as the varnish I applied was the wrong type and it was to thick and shiny. But it’s a learning curve. A few pictures before I start weathering the tank up.

Looking great Kevin.What colour have you used here? Looks a very good match for scc 15.

Jon thanks for the nice comments. The base colour I have used is the model air armour green which I thought was close enough.
I have sent off for some MIG light rust wash and some AK Matt varnish and a really this brush for pin washes. :thumb2:

Hi Kevin
Definitely making good progress. Glad you have sorted the varnish issue. As you say a learning curve.

Thanks Jim. Yes I picked up this Humbrol clear varnish which was like syrup aweful stuff. So I have started to order my bits I need now from scale model shop, then at least I know I’m purchasing the right stuff.

Very impressive Kevin. How are you getting on with the smaller scale stuff??

[Guest]

Hi Steve thanks. I really like the small stuff, it’s a bit fiddly at times but it’s fun and worth it.

Looking good, my 1st tank was a Cromwell Cruiser, I didn’t have to confidence to attempt weathering, hope it goes well and am watching with interest.
