Very good. Was it from pictures or plans you did the scratch work?

Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Cheers, I did the work from a couple of unclear photos, so probably not very accurate

Great Conversion. Is there a dozer blade to go on the front?

No Larry there shouldn't be, you are thinking of the Centaur Bulldozer Tank and this is the Cromwell ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle)

Great conversion Ratch and an excellent base too, which really sets the model off.

Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!
