Dear all,
Hi, i'm just about ready to paint italeri's crusader mk2, but i've not got a lot of pictures. Does anyone know if there are any wwII colour pictues of said vehicle as i want to paint the desert scheme realistically. I'm aware the brave men fighting in that theatre may not have had access to colour film.
Thanks
MrRoo

Andrew the Imperial War Museum has a photo site with photos both black and white as well as some color ones availiable.

In the search box put 'crusader' and put period as WW2.. Any photos they have will show up and you may be lucky enough to get a color one.

Cheers
Cliff
