Hello,

I wanted to ask you if you know some good refrences about the A13 MK. I during the north africa campaign?(pictures., etc.)

Today I bought the new A13 Mk.I from Bronco. My goal is it, to do a tank from this campaign. Till yet, I have not find a book or a webpage with some interesting images and so on....

Did you try a Google search, sometimes that leads to other places.

Hi Mortiz,

You will need to make some changes to the A13 as the Bronco kit is the early version that only saw service in Eurpoe prior to Dunkirk. Can't tell you what needs changed as I haven't got to it yet.

Some stuff to help your idea

Hello,

thank you for your help!!!

I hoped it could be done "easly" to make an A13 wiht interesting camo of the africa campaign!!!:(


Best regards!!!

The model you have is of an Mk III and these only saw action during the 1940 campaign in France. I believe Bronco will be releasing a Mk IV Cruiser in the future and this woudl be the easiest way to get a north African A13; though it woudl be possible to convert the Mk iii it looks like a lot of work

A9 and A10 cruisers were used in the desert but these were very different machines; by the time the A13 made it to the Middle East the Mk III had been replaced by the Mk IV or by the MK IVa which had sloped spaced armor added to the turret giveinga shape not unlike that of the Crusader

Hello,

ohh I do not want to have extra work! This kit itself is "extra work"!!!

Never seen before soo a big nightmare!!!! The upper hull and the turret roof are totally twisted!!!:(

I started to build a scaffold in the hope to correct this big mistake!!!!
