Hi all,
just finished putting together this Crielmodel’s AB41.
The “colours” (a way used in the Italian Cavalry to say insignias/markings) are from the III° Gruppo Esplorante Corazzato (G.E.Co.) “Nizza Cavalleria” who was one of the DAK recon units in North Africa.
The only mods I’ve done are:
main gun (done with brass tubing)
exaust (done with copper tubing and plasticard)
antenna (from a guitar string)
rear lights glasses (from transparent acetate)
decals (not coming with the kit but printed by myself)
As usual any comment/criticism/suggestion is most welcome.
Happy modelling everybody
thats a very nice build. i like it alot, what do you use to print the decal yourself, i dont quite know if the process will work on the Deskjet though, im kinda nervous about printing my own and then the ink running.
Jkeller: in my view they are quite nice, an far a lot better than others I bougth even more expensive. Their filosophy is to deliver resin kits that can be done by beginners too. Of course if you want to detail them you can do it…
Nice looking kit and a clean build! Does the kit have an interior? It’s certainly an interesting variant from the myriad of Tigers, Panthers and Abrams.
I’m assuming the headlights are on the FRONT of the vehicle? Looks like it could go both ways!
Gip: yes it comes with almost complete interiors. The kit is quite accurate ia all its aspects in my view.
I’m assuming the headlights are on the FRONT of the vehicle?
It has got them at the front too, but they are “hidden” behind two armoured shields on the sides of the pilot’s viewing hatch.
Looks like it could go both ways!
Yes it can!!! It has got dual steering wheels: one at the front and one at the back and it has all of the wheels 4 steer too. It was fast, reliable and decently armed. The allied reply to the AB41 was the T17E1 “Staghound”…
