One of 6 Churchill variants in the Cromwell Models Combat Ready range. Transfers from Fingerprint Designs.
Just an overall view showing 4 AFVs on my "universal vllage base". More details in photos below.
One of a set of 3 in the Combat Ready range from Cromwell Models. Hope you can get an idea of how good these simple models are.
This resin kit has a number of optional parts included within the pack, including the choice to have the front portion of the tracks uncovered, as seen here, or to use the track covers. Nive end result I think. Archer Fine Transfers very useful to put the allied Star atop the turret.
This particular one is 1/76, a metal model by MMS. Easy to put together and a great end result. Transfers from Fingerprint Designs.
This time from Milicast, their 1/76 turretless M3A3 recce variant. Parts in this resin kit are included for both early and late versions, which include the choice of full mudguards or, as seen here, without them.
The simplified T72A from Cromwell Models, now in their Combat Ready series. Painted here in Iraqi colours, the sand colour being in the paint range from Vellejo Acrylics, and it works well. The green wear 'showing through' is actually put on top.
More from the Cromwell Models Combat Ready range, this time one from a set of three, each with different stowage.
Three different kits seen together here, with an ambulance version, which comes cast as just one part, while the SP Drilling mount and the Engineers vehicles have just a few more parts.
A closer shot of the Engineers version of the 251 seen above. Neat detail, even with the open equipment box inside the hull.
This little French UE carrier and trailer is from Friend & Foe, the same place as the Farm seen in some of these photos, done by Shellhole Scenics. Metal cast it is very neat indeed, and equally simple to assemble.
This turretless version of the Czech built APC is a 1/72 model from Armo in Poland. Lovely detail, and cast to a very high stadard. Assembly is not difficult, though care needed with some fine resin castings just to avoid damaging them during assembly.
This 1/72 CMP variant is a little more unusual, mounting 3 Polsten canons. A small range of models, cleanly cast. Giesbers are available from dealers like BK Modelcraft in the UK or Trucks and Troops in Belgium.
This is the basic Revell 1/72 Panther G, fitted with the zimeritt panels in etched brass by Part Models. They fit well and are easy to apply. The end result looks good. This one still awaits some highlighting and "dust" to finish it off.
This is the 1/72 kit from Revell, assembled straight from the box, though the transfers used come from the range of Archer Fine Transfers rather than those supplied in the kit. I've heard some modellers complain the tracks didn't fit correctly (come up short of links) but I have to say I didn't find the same problem.
