I've added another bit of armour to my British force. I didn't really have a lot of choice so I picked a Crusader. Not my first choice but all the same a fantastic little kit to build this is pre stowage but I do intend to add a few bits to it to complete it as it were. so as always thanks for looking cheers Russ

Very nice indeed!

Really well done. I'm anxious to see it after you've added all the stowage. I'm curious. Were these tanks used anywhere other than in North Africa? Maybe Italy?

Nice paint job for Tunisia. According to my research.

Thanks guys, and Robby yes its painted up for Tunisia! I'm trying to get all the stowage together so that may take a day it so. So thanks for looking cheers Russ

I'm sorry if that last came across as a criticism. It wasn't meant to be. I was curious, as I said. It sometimes makes me wonder. What happened to this or that type of tank once it was 'replaced'. Never really knew with the Crusader. Your post motivated me to look into it. Thanks. I do think your Crusader will have a serious challenge in Tunisia. Rather like my Matilda in Russian hands. Although it does do well against Pz38ts.

No worries Robby it didn't sound like criticism, I must admit I didn't really know much about the crusader myself! But the Tamiya kits do include abit of info on the instructions sheet and of course paint schemes as well. So I opted to paint it as a good old green machine. I'm still slogging away with the greenstuff so my soviet cavalry will be putting in an appearance soon. Well heres hoping!
