I never took much time to appreciate the detail on the much maligned Crusader, but there is a lot going on.
You sure do seem to have a knack for the quirky and rare Mr Turner ;)

It's all part of having a happy (2nd) childhood :haha: :haha: :crazy: :D

Finished the exhaust vents. They are hollow and if a hole is drilled in the rear panel of the tank then a smoker vent can be introduced for those so minded

Just a few bits on the front, headlights, spare track rack, mudguard struts, and the jobs a good un as they say in Yorkshire

Almost there, the headlights and the spare track link rack are done and fitted. The headlights have a hollow tube if anyone wants to wire them up.

Thanks for the good words. Whilst taking a second look at the tank today I suddenly realised I'd forgotten the wheel and sprocket hub covers! :{
Anyway it didn't take long to remedy the problem

So there we are, mission accomplished. :D

Thanks for the kind words Carl. The thing with a model like this is that it's like eating an elephant, you eat an elephant one bite at a time, with designing a model you do the same thing, you tackle it one part at a time and eventually it all comes together. Mind you sometimes you have to go back and redo bits if they don't quite fit the way you would like them to! :crazy: :haha: :haha:
