Additional and modified Parts for Exclusive Models - 07/04 Cromwell Mk. VI

[Harry Bier]

Hello guys,

some time ago I startet a project of converting the hull of the existing model of a Cromwell Mk. VI offered by Exclusive Models (Exclusive Models - Tanks) for personal use.

During my research I became aware that not all Cromwell tanks had the C-type hull which is offered in the above mentioned model (and which is also the hull type used by the model offered by Cliff Button - Allied Armor. Furthermore I wanted to create some additional parts like the hedgerow cutter and some storrage bins.
The parts were drawn by hand and then reworked with MS Paint to fit in the existing model.

Konrad Supernak (aka archconi in our forum) gave me his permission to offer my work here in our forum in the download section. Actually I am making the last adjustment to the file bevor offering it.

So that's what you get:
I redesigned the hull so there will be a D- and an F-type hull available. There will also be two types of Normandy cowells, hedgerow cutters, storrage bins for the turret and additional hull armour parts available.

Here are my references and sources which I found most usefull in my research ( I know, there are many, many more, but ...):

This is very fine, Harry!

Thanks for making these "aftermarket" parts available and for the info on the Cromwell variations.

Hello Don,

I hope the parts are for some use to some of our members.

But there are still some possibilities to expand that matter:
- centaur AA tank,
- centaur dozer tank,
- cromwell/centaur recovery tank.
Maybe some more scilled designer can put his Hands on them.

Greetings Harry
