Hello! Mr. Tanks-A-Lot did give a sort of sly wink and suggest a Tongde Churchill as a next good British Build. I'll look up the Bishop as well and see whats entailed. ;0)

Ferdinand ??.................oh, that.................

Im undergoing electric shock therapy as that is more fun that building a Hooben

Thx Mr. Wolf.
I'm gonna get one.

Good Morning, Herman!
I know you and you will make that Tank Destroyer work as it should ( without spending another small fortune on a trick Suspension )! Following along on the Ferdinand ( Since I have one on my Build List as well )

Mr. Whittmann,
I'm looking forward to your Build Thread on the Crusader. With some of the usual work(cash), sweat and blood that we normally put into our Builds, you will wind up with a Great Tank that will provide countless hours of run time. Read the Box and Instructions carefully and don't forget to check under the rear side engine deck cover once you get yours.

I had that little gap in the front on mine when it came in. After mounting the side skirts, it went away. I glued them and then clamped them until they dried. The gap was gone.

Tankme!
Sounds Solid. Thank you for looking in! I'm still mulling over the sand shields. I'm glad you have resolved the gap issue simply. Sounds like this is not something that everyone runs into thankfully.

Good Afternoon!
Finished up the Crusader today. Found new handles that needed installing that I had missed. On the Aux Fuel Tank of all places. I discovered this watching Build videos of 1/35 scale kits while doing final detail painting. Put on a new antenna, replacing the metal one provided with a more scale one cut down from a HL antenna. Swapped out the Muzzle Brake for the one most depicted in kits and pics. Made the decision to add the Sand Shields and used Loc-Tite Epoxy for a solid mount. Did a final check over then and put on a coat of Flats. I am really pleased with my first British Tank. Good Job, Coolbank!

No Show Off Thread...I really just added minor detailing to an already excellent Tank. I'll drop a couple of Pics and leave it at that.

good looking tank mate really looks good

Good Morning, Mr. White!
Thank you for looking in. Apologies for the toes in the Birdseye View shot. I was leaning far over to stay out of the frame but apparently not far enough. ;0)

Didnt see the toes till you mentioned it lol
I have taken the plunge and ordered 1 of these myself owing to a mix of alcohol and discount codes from Ali Express
