The model comes in a nice glossy box and looks like a proper model kit. |
The back of the box give a nice over view of the tank and some example pictures. You can see how much I paid for it. You can get these online a few dollars cheaper with free shipping. |
A real bonus for a gaming model is the inclusion of this excellent decal set. This alone adds about $5 of value to the kit. |
The instruction sheet is just like you would get in a proper model kit. It is very nicely produced and accurate! |
There are three sprues in the kit. You cam make one of 5 different versions and not matter which you build you will have a bunch of leftover parts. |
Here is the model fully assembled. I built the Crusader III and it took about an hour an half to complete. |
I sprayed the model in a base coat of flat tan. |
Next I painted some dark brown camo patches. |
There is lots of different ideas about the camo colors on British tanks in North Africa. This probably should have been black but I prefer the look of the dark brown. |
After the camo I did a drybrush with a light tan color. I not very good a drybrusing anymore - need more practice. |
After the drybrush I added the decals and then did a wash of light tan. |
I really love this kit and I can't wait to buy some of their others. They are easy to put together and designed to be handled. I don't thing there will be any issues with these as game pieces.
