RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Can't say I did much of a build, but it was fun to put together.
As I said there were things I like and things I didn't like.

Love that all the hatches open but there is no way to place crewmen.
I am trying now to ad hoc a platform to hold up a Commander.

I went for a 2nd Battle of El Alamein Desert Rats theme.

I will post pictures.

I also have extra parts and decals from Stormbringer in case you need anything,

Well, it looks as if I'd better start on my Crusader next. I will start by digging out the books. Meanwhile post away michealwhittmann.I have a few unpainted UK tankers from Canada, so I may have a crew.

A little primer, a little paint, an enamel wash, a little sandy pigment mix (applied with an index finger), a little stowage, a little battle damage, a little crusty sand from the family recipe
and VOILA!!

Just needs a crew.

Very nice! A stunning example of a Crusader!

looking good mate

Good Morning!
Looks like it has been driven through several desert wadis! Excellent Stuff!

Here are three resources on the Crusader for anyone who might be interested:

Cristini, Luca Stefano. British Crusader Tank. The weapons Encyclopedia (Soldiershop). 2023. ISBN: 9791255891475.
Fletcher, David. Crusader and Covenanter Cruiser Tanks 1939-45. New Vanguard. Osprey. 1995. ISBN: 9781855325128.
Ware, Pat. British Tanks: The Second World War. Images of War. Pen and Sword Military. 978848845008

Books are almost always my starting point, even if I go for a rather generic build.

My friend's Crusader from the 1st Polish Armoured Division (from training in Great Britain in 1943).

Good Morning!
Great realism achieved! The added and modded details are just the right amount of Eye Candy!

To Kaczor's friend,

pretty good for a "trainer".
