A13 Mk.I/Cruiser Tank Mk.III

[Neo]

Greetings,friends! After Magirus I decided to build something that I well know. British cruiser tanks is my favorite topic, so I decided to build A13. Unfortunately it is a very rare model on forums. That's why I will investigate all by myself. Fortunately we have one survived vehicle in Bovington.

This model is quite good. I don't change everything. All nuts are fuzzy. Plastic is very fragile. You need to be carefull evrytime you work with knife or drill. The instruction is incomprehensible, so I build everything in my way.

I bought some aftermarket years ago. Hull plate from Tiger Model etc. But I haven't decided yet will I substitude it or not. It is not very difficult but causes other problems with engine plate. At first look you will need to do new grills.

I started with lazy. Don't be very stricked. Some nuts are missing. Some not glued. Some places need putty. All of this will be in future stages.
