A touch of 'old meets new' Airfix style! Good to see the Cromwell is secured to the transporter too. Works for me - very nice combo! 👍

Looks great! I've always wanted to build a transporter/tank combo thisnis one you don't see! Just got my bench and stash pulled out today after almost 2 years in storage and this is some great motivation!

Thanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated (and now I know what antediluvian means, you learn something new every day 😉)

I started out wanting to build something in small scale and I got the Scammel tractor / transporter combination for a small price from a second hand site. Then I thought, what's a tank transporter without a tank so I purchased the Cromwell to go with it. I don't know very much about armour but I figured they would fit together. Both are nice kits to build although it's evident that the Scammel is a much older kit. The Cromwell went together just like that, while the Scammel took a bit more effort. The Scammel does lack a bit in detail so I added some small things like a rearview mirror, a pulley and some more items on the back of the tractor. Also the headlights were horrible but I managed to make them look a little better.
To the transporter, which is also quite basic, I added track guiding blocks, stays for the ramps and a couple of pulleys.
I didn't add anything to the Cromwell apart from the two aerials (thin copper wire), but I did replace the headlamp brush guards with brass wire as the ones from t
