Nice job I agree with other comments, the base colour looks pretty good.
Seems to have gone together without too much trouble, in honesty I cannot remember having problems building the Airfix Churchill although the amount of wheels can be a bit off putting.
Cheers

Ayup All..
Especially Sarge if he knows.
Why then was a non Croccy Decal scheme (If you can call it that) been put with the Kit? The destructions say Gold Beach !  _________________ Airfix Member 022... Jolly Boy.

Well done Ratch! You've done a great job on a charming little gem from Airfix. This Crocodile kit was a fine "second generation" idea for Airfix and you have shown it off well.
Beautiful! |
