Following popular demand I got busy with the hairy stick and painted the Crusader in North Africa colours (light sand).
There we are, job done!

Re: Crusader Tank new build
After Rad's (ankh member id) amazing build of the Matilda, he has now completed the Crusader.
and here is the vid of it in action
Amazing job!
It gives me so much pleasure to see talented modellers take my designs and transform them into such amazing models.

Re: Crusader Tank new build
I would've never spent a bunch of money to buy a Crusader, but having one available to print makes it tempting to build one. It's a nice looking build.

Re: Crusader Tank new build
In a country that has some beautiful vehicles (XKE, Spitfire, Tempest, Aston Martin, Austin Healey and many others), the designers of some of these tanks must have been to an Irish Whiskey tasting tournament in the hours before pen to paper.

Re: Crusader Tank new build
Following Rad's completion of his tank it prompted me to do the side skirts and here they are:
The sidepanels are flared so as not to interfere with the tracks and suspension.
