Hobby Master Collector just published pictures of the upcoming Cromwell Mk.VI, which looks great.

The tank is intended to represent a vehicle in Western Europe, 1945, and no unit is quoted. My concern is the camouflage scheme employed by HM, consisting of sand & green. According to sources (e.g., http://www.miniatures.de/ger/camouflage-british.html) the base colour for a Cromwell fighting in Europe in 1945 should be No. 15 Khaki Drab (a colour almost identical to US Olive Drab), with a disruptive pattern in Black, or alternatively a scheme of No. 24 Deep Bronze Green overall.

Paint bleaching and dust layers usually lighten colours in photographs, and this may have misled HM (or some illustrator on whose work HM based their model) into using this odd colour scheme. HM might still replace the colours in their model with the right ones (khaki green and black)... unless somebody knows better and can shed some more light on this subject.

Great insights there mate. I'm sure HM will update it in due course. Hawkone, you listening?
