C Squadron 5th RTR?

That depends on his timeline! Up to the end of July '44 it's C Sqn 5 RTR, then from Aug '44 onwards it's C Sqn 1 RTR.

4 CLY had taken such heavy casualties at Villers Bocage and the subsequent fighting around Caen that they were withdrawn and 5th Skins came over from the UK to replace them. But because the Skins were cavalry they were automatically superior to the oiks in the RTR and took over as the senior regiment in 22nd Armd Bde. As a result 1 and 5 RTR were bumped down a notch (much to their disgust) and everyone had to repaint their tanks. Which eighty years later causes huge headaches for hapless modellers the world over! :tongue-out3:

I was going off memory, I had painted up a load of 4CLY a while back.

.... Ooooookay then, an update,(Allbeit a rather Glossy one),
It`s been glossed,Dark Green washed,AND...I`ve added the tools,a shed load of ickle bits,and....... a TURRET!! :dizzy:....
Although it`s covered in Gloss Varnish,awaiting a Dust wash and pigments.....It actually looks like a Tank now!!







I`m leaving the front track guards off because i`m kinda basing this on a mix of this ........

......and this......

Well,that`s the plan!!.... off to do the Dusty stuff now,
Cheers for looking in,
Andy
