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

Stu

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!
