Fantastic bit of kit. Perhaps some photos straight on so we could see through all that bar armour? I don't think it needs too much more of anything. Just more pics!

Wow! Gordon's really excelled himself with this kit. Great build Brian, it's looking fantastic.

How on earth did you manage to get a Cromwell kit? I've found it impossible to get an e mail answer let alone a kit.

 

[dave samson]

i am in total agreement with you

That slat armor has got to be a PITA to work with. Congratulations!

I could sure use on of those for my daily commute through Chicago. Great job!

Thanks very much for your replies guys , I do like the Cromwell kits and I know how much of a pain they are to get , I am fortunate that I live nearby and can go and make a nuicance of myself until I get them . I took the kit to Duxford (met Treemendous again there , cheers Ant !) and the response was very good so I will continue with groundwork for the kit and post again once this is completed . The vehicle is massive and is actually bigger than a Ferdinand tank destroyer .

best wishes
Brian

AWESOME!! You might have to be a nuicance for some of us. We Can't find them anywhere here in the states and then all the issues with getting ahold of Gordon.
Very impressive work!

Brian,
It's cool that you got to hang out with Ant...
This is a very nice kit and you did and excellent job with it.
Keep showing us your pictures when you get the groud work done.
