Tamiya 1/35th Cromwell IV Painting and Weathering

Painting and weathering of the Tamiya Cromwell IV
Finishing the model built earlier.
Cromwell IV of the 7th armoured division
Enjoy
The Cromwell marked a significant improvement over previous British designs, and provided 7th Armour Division as their MBT during the D-Day landings, and the fight through France and into Germany.
7th Armoured Division having fought across North Africa, and nicknamed 'The Desert Rats'.
After North Africa they were deployed during the landings at Salerno in Italy to help repel German counter attacks.
Once recalled back to England they were re-equipped with Cromwell IV and Firefly tanks.
Each Platoon would have 3 Cromwell's and 1 'Firefly' as heavy support.

    Is olive drab the correct colour for British armour, as the British used bronze green on their tanks over us tanks

    Hi Harry, thanks for watching and your comment. Below is a brief summary of British army vehicle colours of WW2 for any that are interested. ''During WW2 British Army military vehicles in European Theatre were painted according to Army Council Instructions and Military Training Pamphlets. Generally two-green colors camo (G4 over G3) and then two-brown colors camo (S.C.C. 1A over S.C.C. 2, result of shortage of ingredients used for green colours) were most commonly used from 1939 till 1943. In October 1943 a blue-black colour (S.C.C. 14) was approved as a main shade over S.C.C. 2. From April 1944 S.C.C. 15 became the last war-time base colour of British tanks.'' The Cromwell shown here is from the 7th Armoured during the Normandy campaign so very likely would have been painted S.S.C.15 which is an olive drab but darker green than U.S olive drab. I think the Brownish/Bronze colour you are thinking of is S.S.C.2 1941-42 Khaki Green No.3 42-early 44 SSC.2 brown 44 onwards SCC15 olive I hope this helps
