Crikey you build at a fair old pace, Corricon. The Bergepanzer turned out very well and the Bedford and the tanks are also shaping up very nicely. The pilot figure looks nicely detailed, who's the manufacturer?

Shaun, busy busy as I don't work anymore due to ill health, however it doesn't stop me model making most days, hence the "full time modeller" in my address line.
The pilot came from Aires Hobby Models under the Aero Bonus label. 480 153 1/48 WWII RAF Pilots for Bedford MWD. There are 2 in a packet. Can usually be found on Ebay.

I also managed a coat of paint on the Churchill:

That AVRE looks ace! The Churchill is pretty good too - I'm going to be watching both of these from now on.

Really like the subtle finishes on your models. Great scale effect.

A little more progress today.
First off the Matador tanker got it's spare wheel painted in, the tyres touched in where needed and the top of the tank got a second coat of black:

Image

Next the Churchill got it's commander painted, the aerial base added and the areas on the side 'Kleared' ready for some serial numbers:

Image

Next it was the turn of the Centurion. This got it's camouflage applied, the commander painted and some weathering was commenced:

Image

Then lastly for today I finished painting the wheels on the Bedford MWD and cemented them in place and then I gave the bodywork a second coat of dark earth. The body has been removed again ready for the pilots to be added:

Image

That's it for today.

Spot on work with these, Corricon, great painting with weathering that is to the right degree and doesn't overwhelm the model - IMHO of course! Do you ever build in 1/35th or do you tend to stick to the smaller scales?
