Revell 1/72 Cromwell tank Guards Division

[Arie Vos]

On 19 September 1944 my home town was liberated by Allied forces. As part of operation Market Garden 2 Cromwell tanks and 1 Chrevrolet truck liberated the village of Oss. Quite a lot of pics where made of that event.

That is incredible. Nice to see some true scale love, l think overall it looks very concise.

Very nicely done sir.....It's a great kit isn't it, another 'benchmark' model from the Revell range.

Dan's upgrade set looks excellent too.....I shall have to pick a couple up.

Nice job!!

Revells cromwell is my personal all time favourite kit. Its an absolute pleasure to build.

The dtm upgrade looks very tasty - will be getting a couple of those I think.
