Having given the model a basecoat the next stage was painting the fixtures and other details on the Cromwell ARV.

Both the wooden equipment…

 

…and the tracks.

Having given a basecoat of Humbrol Dark Green to the underneath of the model to add shadow the next stage was to do the main basecoat of Warpaint British Armour.

As you can see the basecoat has not coated the tank completely.

Looking at it, it might need a second coat, though I think a wash may solve some of the “white” problem.

Here’s the model with a second coat.

Having constructed the Cromwell ARV, the next stage was a white undercoat. I then sprayed a basecoat of Humbrol Dark Green to the underneath of the model to add shadow when I do the main basecoat.

The idea is the keep the main part of the model with a white undercoat and the undersides to be darker than the rest of the model.

Next stage will be the main basecoat of Warpaint British Armour.

Having constructed the Cromwell ARV, the next stage was a white undercoat.

The white undercoat really does bring out the detail of the model.

These are the resin and metal pieces of the Cromwell ARV.

I stuck the wading gear and hull MG to the hull and the front and rear trackguards to the tracks.

The tracks were then glued to the hull.

The model went together very easily and I am impressed with the detail on the model. Next stage will be the white undercoat.

Having seen this picture on the Flames of War website, decided that this was a really nice model.

So I decided to get a blister.
