Cromwell 1:16 scratchbuilt

[30+]

It would be very tempting to buy the kit, however I've promised my wife to be happy with the two rc tanks that I've already got, and in a way I agree with her.

It's the same thing as if I would own several cars. Two cars can be some what practical - one car to and from work and one car for spare time use only. However, three or more cars...I just don't see the point.

Anyway, a very nice build you've done!

Cheers, Jens

the canon is the f2 variant of the panzer IV from tank-modellbau.de this was the best i was able to get for the projeckt but im working on a scal variant.

Thats really good work Chris. I can't wait to get one of these kits. Do you know how much they'll be with the barrel and possibly the suspension?

I was thinking, maybe you could use the suspension from a Pershing, it would look more prototypical?

Cheers,

thank you.
this is at the moment not so easy to say. with barrel and suspension it would coast 40,- to 50,- euro more .

i have tried alot of suspensions but nothing works good enough, it will be the next big stepp for my work.
the schwinging arms will be made of 5,5mm Aluminium.
