So gentlemen this is the story so far

What you are looking at is a crusader built by Ludwig
The photos are of how it was when delivered. after I altered ride height
And one taken today of the cammo going on.

It has servo elevation and recoil.
All wheels are metal and tracks appear to be metal panzer III tracks.
The gear box’s are belt driven. I don’t know the brand as I don’t usually use them so if anyone has any idea let me know.

It will eventually be running on the clarks board with the cromwell sound pack as it’s the best fit and closest match.

For such an awful real tank it makes a great looking arc model!
Top job to MRS Brute for the paint handiwork!
That’s teamwork folks ;)

Agreed! Bring on the British tanks! As a former owner of many British Motor Company cars over the years, I still have a fondness for the quirky looks & nature of British design. Even those Lucas refrigerators that are always known for warm beer. :haha:

Thanks for the comments.

I want to scratch build my next 2 British if anyone who has done so can provide me measurements for them. It’s cheaper than buying kits and I would say more satisfying.
Though I haven’t scratch built anything yet
