hello guys,
I'm happy to see that another British WW2 tank gets some TLC, and hopefully we will see it moving around in some years.. Pierre-Olivier http://the.shadock.free.fr/

Hi, Here is a couple of pics taken this week following grit blasting the hull and painting, hope to get it to mine this week, lots still to do to the hull, all the swing arms have got to come off aswell as the final drive backing plates.
If anyone who I have not already spoken to has any Cromwell or Centaur parts that could help towards this project please p.m. me. kevin.

Tremendous progress Kevin, do you have much range damage to attend to? My Loyd has been nothing but heart ache, with even the most complete part being subtly distorted and requiring remedial work. There was a complete liberty V12 available from Dave Arnold, but it may have been sold when he shifted the Cavalier.

Hi Alister, This was mostly splashed with artillary shrapnel, no penetrations to the hull, it had took a close round next to it which bent a side armour plate, (see first pic when still on the range), Also the front drivers foot plate looks like it has been fired at constantly with a heavy machine gun which has pushed it in, this will need replacing in the long run. I have seen that liberty but its a little out of my price range. and it would need a rebuild.
been working on the swing arm 'bump' stops and finished refurbishing them all today with NOS rubbers, will post some pics. kevin.

Ben
Its already nicely wrapped and nearly Christmas, Do you think it would help with domestic harmony, if he put a big ribbon on it?

Easo,
Yes, but they did manage to totaly destroy the engine bay and land one right in the middle of the top of the turret that was on it when I dragged it off the range! That turret is being used in another restoration leaving Clive with a rather big hole.... ARV I wonder? David
