Now im working on the final Prototyp and i want to use this posibility to show all how easy this kit is put together by everyone
Im want to show you that because i get often asked if im not able to sell these kits as a runner, but sadly i do not have the time for it and i im doning that its expensiv.
But i want that everyone knes after that report that he is able to do the same.

at the end of this report the Comet will be ready to get into the market.



At the beginning i start with the hull







puting inner and outer side togther


hull inforcement


Track cover



Puting all rest lower hull parts together.










you see, it isn t a big problem to come that fare

the next stepp will be the upper hull

I am pleased that you have chosen to build the Crusader next, In my unworthy opinion it was one of, if not the most Tank looking Tank, if you know what I mean, of the second world war of any country, unfortunately it was also one of the worst Tanks ever put into service, suffering the problem of all British Tanks of the period, getting the compromise between power, armour and armament right ,that and being one of the most mechanically unreliable armoured vehicles in the Western Desert. A very large sigh of relief when first the Lee/Grant and then the Sherman appeared from all British Tank crews, not without problems of their own but you never had to worry about engine failure. shaun

Thx for your interest and coments

how i have saied here comes the development of the upper deck.
it is a lidelbit trikky, but if you see the fotos and compare your parts it should be posible for everyone.

This is the main plate of the upper hull.


bevor you start gluing you should put the parts togther and make sure everypart is on the right place









next stepp



the gluing prozedure

Front plates


inner traverse





The back parts, here the same first put toghther, hold it on the parts and if everthing looks right , start gluing.











finaly some lidel parts could be add now












this is the fin for today, next stepp will be the turret.
