malcolmincanberra Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 +1. Nice kit that could be built in two different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_collier2 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I managed to get two Crusaders off ebay this weekend, wooohooo, mint in 1960's boxes. They are for my Western Desert collection but as they have survived so long untouched it seems a shame to make them.....maybe just the one then :)I also got 2x 88's and Halftracks and a Panzer 4 all in mint 1960's packaging. Bargains can still be found. Other on line auction sites are available....hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_collier2 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 more people want a XL-5 than a Crusader :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The 1/76 Crusader Tank has my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgProv Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Wasn't there a fuss in the modelling press at the time about this model being "out" in terms of basic dimensions? I know this sounds like rivet-counting, but this Airfix release was criticised for being too wide, too tall, and not long enough. Even the Airfix Magazine published an article about how to rebuild the kit to correct scale dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_collier2 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think its a tad too long, not wide enough and shorter in heightthan it should be. But its a decent kit and lots of options come with it. It also fits together well unlike some of the other 1/76 tanks which are from 1960's moulds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgProv Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Come on its about time this kit was re released! I want at least 12! Fed up of buying them from ebay!And forgive me if this sounds like advertising a competitor (name and details with-held) but when you need lots of Crusaders at a reasonable price for wargaming, you can get a lovely simplified kit, almost snap-together, that comes as two models in one box for roughly the same price as an Airfix kit and done to at least equally presentable standards of accuracy. With competitors doing this sort of thing, there may be little point in Airfix re-issuing their version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
