That's a very nice build Calvin. Very nice indeed. I like the subtle weathering.

You've certainly got the shadowing and shading done nicely!

Hi all. Thank you for your comments. Before this thread disappear to somewhere, I just want to add that I have a very good teacher and friend who gave me advice for the colour to be used. He is Bernard Cher and he runs the M Workshop over here. I am not the best modeller under him.

Thank you all again for the encouragement. Happy modeling.

The Duke

Very nice model, Calvin. I like the faded look and subtle weathering.

Thanks for sharing

Nice job!

Are the bags and rolls from Tamiya? If not, what did you use?

Thanks,

Hello Calvin,

Great looking Crusader...But....I question the position of the fuel tank on the back of the vehicle. The filler cap is supposed to be on top of the tank not on the side of it. Well thats my under standing.

Hello John, I built this thing straight out of the box and that's what the instruction says...
