This is Revell 1/72 scale Crusader, that i have finished couple of months ago. It is built without any aftermarket stuff or scratchbuilding (except of antenna wires, made of stretched sprue). My mother, looking at it, said - I like this aircraft more (it was Bulldog, a training aircraft, that I made without any weathering), this one (i.e. Crusader) looks sooo messy [sigh]

Hey, a nice neat build, Moonwoka. A handsome choice too – not a great tank, but a nice-looking one, and it did get the job done.
Good job. Thanks for sharing the pic.
Looks Good moonwoka.
Thanks. I am one of those, called “anglophiles” (if that’s the correct word [:D] ), so the choice came itself, when I saw the kit. It is a reboxing of Hasegawa, so assembly was smooth, almost without filler. It is quite basic kit with simplified gear - halfs of the wheels are molded together with sideplates of the hull. I think, I overdid the weathering (Humbrol gunmetal and silver pencil) a bit, but it still looks acceptable to me. I am very pleased, how the black wheeldiscs came out. By accident [:I] - I thinned paint too much, but after the first coat dried, I decided that it looks better than I could have expected, so black ones are painted with single coat.
[:D] hi great pics ,and a nice looking tank. thanks for the pics.[:D]

Arn’t those great little kits, except for the tough tracks. Here is mine from a couple of months ago. Bill
Hey Bill,
I can see, that You did some scratchbuilding. Your kit sure looks more impressive (or
maybe the grass on the other side of the street is greener [8)] ).
Nice looking kit, just needs a little drybrushing to help enhance it.
Can’t see it Moonwoka, but I can see Bill’s… I like Bill’s…! I like seeing great little tanks like those!
Nice looking tank! Excellent work!
I like seeing all these Braille Scale models on these Forums.
I’m not sure why thumbnail appears every time, I edit the post (actually save without any changes), but shortly after dissapears [}:)]. This is my second armour kit, the first being 1/35 scale KB-85, made by some Soviet toy factory (I’m not sure neither about the scale, nor the age, I was then). I intentionally chose relatively simple kit with simple camo. While I understand perfectly that my skills, both building and finishing, need to be improved, I’m still pleased, how it turned out. Thanks for all Your comments.
Great job on the crusader moonwoka. Thanx for sharing it with us. Bryan
Nice build. I don’t know how you small-scale guys don’t go blind.
This post lives again! [:D]
Had to do a doubletake on the original date… [:P]
THREAD NECROMANCER! [(-D]
Nice job Moonwoka. I would like to see you build one in 1/35 scale. Nice camo job.
