Still getting the washes done, however i think you can begin to see where i am going with this. I got this off ebay for 2.00 + shipping since it had been started and was missing pieces. It had been started with white glue so a good soaking took care of that. I had to frabricate a barrel for the main gun and some of the other parts. Aside from that its a really nice kit i would recomend even today.

Looks good, any problems with it? I got one in the clearance bin of an lhs who dealt with estate sales. Scored it for $5 "as is". Mine turned out to be only missing the figure and the interior of the turret roof had a smudge of paint on the inside. Otherwise it was mint and unbuilt.

Don't forget to replace the muzzle of the coaxial BESA MG. The Airfix Crusader stands up well today, despite being 30 years old, apart from the figure which wasn't that good in the first place.

Nice to see an old "classic" being built.
