Derwentsider Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Hello folks, I thought I`d put up a few pictures of Cromwell Models Aussie Centurion. The scale is 1:76 and it really is beautifully cast.I`ve added a tin of Revell paint just to add a sense of scale.What you see there consists of three pieces,hull ,turret and gun test fitted together. There are another dozen or so bits to add including the rear fuel tank,turret hatches etc. I think I`ll add maybe a couple of crew figures to it and a .30 cal on the roof from the airfix jeep kit,and mount it on a small base. If you like Centurions (and who here doesn`t) buy one! Picked this one up from the Tyneside show for £15. Cheers,Tim.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Very nice detail on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwentsider Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Very nice detail on it. Its really nice,the first resin armour kit I`ve bought.At first I though £15...... ,but then you consider that Dragon armour kits are now £10-£11 in 1/72 it didn`t seem so bad,considering the high rejection rate of resin castings.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm no expert but that sounds very reasonable for a resin kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Tim: Nice details on the Cromwell, resin molding really can capture the details..I'm looking forward to seeing your painting/detailing on this one.. Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timraven1992 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Can I build one please? I'll be building the Airfix Challenger 2 (which I've been told is a Trumpeter rebox) and an Academy Warrior MCV. Both in 1/35 scale, and they will be my first big scale ones. If I feel really sick, I could do them in a diorama! I'll have to have a think, or maybe a lie down Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz greenwood Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Guys I'm going to have to stop the builds of my two entries for the GB as I've lost so many of the small fittings that they will be incomplete. And I can't see the point of carrying on with them. So sorry guys. But I will return with something else.
