Tamiya

In this weeks video I am going to be reviewing the 1:35 scale Tamiya Cromwell MK IV or British Cruiser Tank Mk.VIII, A27M kit No. 35221
In this video I give a brief history of the Cromwell tank and talk about how the model goes together as a kit, what to watch out for if you are building this kit at home. Along with what's in the box , decal options and I talk about a few inaccuracies and where I think the kit could do better
Anyway as always I hope you enjoy the video and if you are building one of these model kits at home it gives you a good idea of what to expect from the kit
as always look after yourself, keep modelling and until next time have a good one

[@scalestuff1066]

Yeah gotta love the cromwells awesome looking classic tank

[@StevenPotts-ij9ue]

This is going to be my next tank purchase, so this video was really useful, thanks for your no nonsense builds.

[@scalestuff1066]

Good luck with the build mate, glad I could be of help, this builds into a lovely model when its all done, just be careful with the star decals as the contours ask a lot from the decals

[@islandrc-duke1972]

looks awesome,great build my friend

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers dude,hope everything your ends going well,hows the channel going?

[@ljscalemodels526]

Hey great looking build, I’ve just finished the same myself, done a weather camo, really enjoyed the build, agree with the comments - decals I actually forgot to put them on before weathering 😂, cheers Liam

[@scalestuff1066]

Thanks mate tbh yours looks good I need to do a winter camo but they are tricky to pull off,I'm worried I'd wreck the kit,reminds me though do need to check on your channel been crazy busy with work,thanks for stopping by mate

[@ljscalemodels526]

@@scalestuff1066 goodness that’s kind of you - I actually was t sure what I doing, even the chipping was a nightmare, good buddy

[@scalestuff1066]

Mate winter camo is a nightmare, mean its often whitewashing so its semi transparent, it rubs off washes off,and shows dirt grime and wears more than the paint underneath, ontop of that its white and can look stark and throw shadows off

[@scottydoo46]

Looks a nice tank

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers dude thank you very much

[@Jamie0121]

Good knowledge nice to see you at the boozer earlier

[@scalestuff1066]

Thanks mate thanks again for the watch as well hope you had a good night

[@lmmodellismomilitare]

Nice and good idea! So good video

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Nice review my friend! You wouldn't be able to lay down the aerial recognition decal without any decal fluid, even with that, you should use a lot to make it conform. Great job done. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work.

[@scalestuff1066]

Thanks mate,glad you enjoyed the video,any reccomend brands for decal fluid?I have never used the stuff and feel I should get some for decals like this

[@ThatMofoDamon]

@@scalestuff1066 i personally use tamiya mark fit, but there's also the duo of micro set and micro sol

[@scalestuff1066]

cheers mate, Ill get some mark fit as I use a fair few tamiya glues and things like that, any advice for using the stuff?

[@ThatMofoDamon]

@@scalestuff1066 give the surface a coat before applying the decal, apply the decal, don't move it around a lot. Don't use pointy tweezers moving it around and finally as it cures pass a cotton swab on top off it to remove any air bubbles trapped under the decal. If the surface is too "uneven" apply multiple layers of it

[@scalestuff1066]

Thanks mate stella crash course, I'd have poked at it otherwise

[@allgood6760]

Nice one!.. thanks mate 👍🇳🇿

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers mate

[@Emma-jh4ye]

What’s the commander’s story?

[@scalestuff1066]

Pretty sure this one was the son of a librarian, that never wanted her boy to do anything dangerous, the commander looks like his having far to much fun 😂

[@Emma-jh4ye]

Ah yes, the boy dun good. Hope his mum is proud of her wee lad.

[@scalestuff1066]

hahaha would most like be furious
