Hello Again,
These are the 1/32 classic Cromwells, I jazzed them up a bit with an Airfix Commander, and some additional stowage, plus some scrim net polishing rag, camo netting. link No good to me, too large for my 1/35 force, but I think E-bay may have to 'ave 'em! Many thanks John |

Whosoever gets them will be happy, those are museum quality pieces. If I wasn't wed to 1/56, I'd bid on them (he says while making sure his wife isn't looking over his shoulder). |

Superb work, I`ve saved that to favourites as I have a Cromwell to do in 20mm and needed good photos to work off. Thanks for the link John – excellent stuff, top class. |

Pretty! Let the group know when you ebay 'em! I have a buddy who is looking for some. |

Top Notch! I managed to find x 3 of these 1/32 for a platoon but your improvements are an insperation.
Thanks for posting the links!

Good stuff!
The netting really improves their look making them look more realistic. |

Fabulous. But I'm delighted to hear that I was not hallucinating and that Airfix did 1/32 Cromwells. I have one (in a box deep in my parents' basement) and, I think, a Hanomag. SOme years ago, when I asked about this people assured me that Airfix never did one. They might have been thinking of the HO-OO scale, though. Are the 1/32 Airfix models still available?

But the tank is naked …..apart from some see-through netting…. |

Ditto Bird I too have had hallucinations about owning one as a kid, only to be met with blank stares when I mentioned it to other gamers. so is that ditto Ditto? And no – sadly not available. IIRC they did a PzIV as well as the 251. I had a 251 but no PzIV |

The Cromwell, I cannot find, but there is a host of other stuff, the old Airfix Hanomag, Damiler, PZIV, plus Panthers,
Tigers, 88mms, Buffalos (!) and a load of other stuff; link Great site, check it out! and thanks for the nice comments, the're on E-bay now!(is that allowed)? John John |

Still got one somewhere – think it came in a set with a grey german half track (open topped) and figures, and 2 pill boxes that fired little plastic discs about the size of a 2p coin to knock the soldiers over. |

This is the half track from the set link |

Got rid of mine as a kid does anyone remember the British pioneer set that came with all the extra tools etc? |
| Ditto Tango 2 1 | 17 Feb 2009 3:32 p.m. PST |
Wow, the Airfix 1/32 range really was quite different from the HO-OO. John, are they really that much bigger than 1:35?

Tim, yes, very much so,
I was going to 'cut and shut' these two to make a challenger 17pdr, with the extra length hull and extra roadwheel, but SKP released a kit of the Chally, so I took the easy route, and bought one of them instead. John |

Some bloke in France got them both, from E-Bay, nice price for me, to buy another 1/35 Sherman regiment! Thanks again for the nice comments, now to set about another 14 Shermans! John |
