Crusader Tank new build

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Following popular demand I got busy with the hairy stick and painted the Crusader in North Africa colours (light sand).

After Rad's (ankh member id) amazing build of the Matilda, he has now completed the Crusader.

Amazing job! :clap: :clap: :clap:

It gives me so much pleasure to see talented modellers take my designs and transform them into such amazing models. :thumbup: :clap:

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.

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.

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.
