Well, after the farce of the wingy thing and much cajoling from Mr H, i've finally got my a**e into gear and started a build. Built a few Crusaders before so no surprises! Only thing is the sprues and parts aren't numbered! This is common on all of their Crusader kits, bout time they sorted it This is where i am at the mo More to follow soon ;D Cheers, Steve

Got the bulk of the building done, only got the runnung gear, plus a few bits and bobs to clean up and then its onto the painting. The gun assembly was typical Italeri, fiddly and a pig to put together After faffing for 20 mins or so, I still managed to get the barrels slightly out of alignment, but its not too noticable the instructions are'nt too clear in this section so a lot of dry runs are recommended. The turret basket is a bit basic on detail but there is enough to be seen through turret top. More to follow soon Cheers, Steve

Looks good so far - never done an Italieri kit before - the colour of the plastic looks hideous, hurry up and get some paint on it. ;D

Hey up, The colour of the plastic aint' too bad in the flesh. It tends to be a a bit on the soft side tho. I'm hoping to get some paint on it later his week, i got it built and then got a bit of modeling block, which now seems to be clearing! Cheers, Steve ;D

You cleared that modelling block yet?
Took a month off myself - getting ready for the Rail GB.
How's the Crusader coming along?
