Cromwell vs King **DNF**

To build a pairing of machines which would have had a dog-fight, which is the general term for fighter aeroplanes fighting each other. It does not include bomber interception, or missile attacks, but does include "dogfight" type combat of ships, AFV, Sci-Fi, etc.

Cromwell vs King **DNF**

Post by fredk »

No, not the English Civil War, but Normandy 1944.

I'm going to wuss out and build a kit to go with one I have already built.
I have the Cromwell built so now it'll be the King Tiger;

One of the reasons I like aeroplanes is they have so few wheels, even cars only have a few wheels, but these tanks have so many.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I find that pre-painting the whole wheel area before assembly takes a lot of the pain out of building tanks. (and any bare plastic from cutting can get covered by lashings of mud :grin: )

Now to do the wheels. I think Ill just give the very outer ones, which will be more visible, a black tyre once they're on.
