More 15mm tanks from Plastic Soldier Company,but this time with

single tracks :).The PSC box comes with 5 Cromwells and plenty

of choice to make each vehicle different. I have added some different

crew and stowage made from cheese cloth again. Some of the cheese cloth

has scatter stuck on to make it appear like foliage. One small

criticism of the PSC model is that the front glacial(location of

45 and Black Bull) plate of the Cromwell is very narrow making it

hard as hell to fit a decal on.

My Cromwells belong to 11th Armoured Division but are 2nd Northamptonshire

Yeomanry as they provided Recce along with 15/19th Kings Royal

Hussars.

Joining my 3 Fireflys are the meat and veg of the Allied

tank force the Shermans. M4A4`s to be exact and made by

Plastic Soldier. You get 5 plastic tanks for £18.95 and lots

of detail. My only issue was the tracks that come is 3 parts

and are a nightmare to be honest. It seems later kits have now

been changed to one solid plastic cast of the tracks, most likely

due to people like me moaning.

Anyway as before the Shermans are marked up as 11th Armoured Division,

23rd Hussars Regiment.

Hope you like them ?

I`m going to stick with 11th Armoured Division as I build my Normandy bocage

and terrain boards(I`ve actually already started but as of yet to got round

to getting the photos up) and I need some Cromwells and Stuarts. According

to my info 11th Armoured Division had 44 Stuarts,71 Cromwells, 175 Shermans,

36 Fireflys,28 Crusaders and 3 Valentines.So I better get building.

With all those Panthers lurking in the hedge rows

it was time to even things up. Bring on the 17pdr`s.

These have a bit more markings, specifically they

are 11th Armoured Division, 23rd Hussars Regiment.

I am quite pleased with the darker shade of green

as I was worried it would come out like Soviet

green.
