That 'andy 'arry. I've been eyeing one of these up for a while now.

It'll be good to see how it builds up.

Apparently the turret is the wrong shape but looks OK to me, I`ve got one of these so will watch what you do with it.

i have made some progress with the kit , it has a few annoying things such as the parts are not numbered also i bought an Edward photo etch for this model and it states it is for a crusader 3 AA mk1 a lot of the parts are for the mk3 turret with twin boffers apart from that it goes together OK with just a few mould /pin marks View attachment 59383View attachment 59384View attachment 59385

looks superb buddy real nice detail everywhere like all the spent shells on the floor adds action to your top dio
 
Great work Steve like the rest have said the little extras have made a big difference 5 stars from me
 
That is a nice looking AA Crusader you have built there Steve well built mate
 
Right then I will draw the Admin card up from the hat on this one!!!!

five stars for the Crusader,

five stars for the base.

Like this a lot and now feel duty bound to buy one!!!

If you had gotten a crew in there you would of got five more stars Mhuuuaaaaaahhh.

Great job Steve.

thanks guys for the comments i have really enjoyed the build, i think the friul tracks make a difference with the natural sag , believe it or not Ian i have some crew for it in mind but i didn't want to over kill the model and so held back . again thanks for the compliments from my fellow modellers and on to the next build, wonder what that will be ?
 
Its not because it 'needs' the crew, it would just explain the shell cases everywhere.

I like it as it is. Out of interest which crew do you have, did you find one for this kit, or is it the Bofors crew...?
