some 1/76 armour

first up is a Cromwell Combat Ready Churchill Mk V with some anti-Panzerfaust side skirts (these are based on a production drawing but I don't think any were built/fitted in reality)

first one shows the brackets...



2nd one shows it all fitted & primed in black...



next is a Vauxhall-produced Cromwell, note the Churchill Mk VII style turret, kits are Milicast



and finally a Staghound (Milicast again), which will be in US Army colours

Can't wait to see these finished Mikey.

Those Milicast kits kick donkey, I ordered a load of their stuff a few weeks ago - including a Black Prince, only model of it in any scale I do believe.  Was very impressed with the level of detail, and at a reasonable price too.

Now you need some AB Figures to go with them!

Sales of Airfix kits plummeted in the 1980s, and GCSEs had to be made easier as a result - James May

Great.
That staghound is a favourite of mine....a great shape.
I read about a guy driving a privately owned one a bit ago....hell of a ride...took railway tracks in its path no problem, and speedy too.

Great stuff Mike - I definately want the Staghound, and a few others in the catalogue.

Milicast wern't at Perth - hopefully at Telford though

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

:tank:  a couple more underway...

Canadian M113 uparmoured for use in the Balkans (with the help of Israel), kit is Cromwell Combat Ready M113 Israeli 'Classical', I've added the rear fuel tanks, wire cutters & a couple of other bits & pieces myself





next is an MMS white metal M36 with HVSS suspension (from a Fujimi Sherman), since the pic I've added & few details like the headlight brush guards & some more stowage (the pink bits are made from plastic bag, wrapped round a bit of tissue or scrap of plastic card & secured with superglue)
