ScootyPuffJunior Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I recently finished up the new Border Model Crusader III. This is one of my favorite tanks and it was quite a fun build, plus it was quite a departure from all of the drab green vehicles that I've been painting lately. The tracks are Friulmodel and the stowage is from Legend Productions, Panzer Art, and Value Gear, along with scratch tarps. It was painted with a mix of Tamiya, AK Real Color, and MRP paints, and weathered with Mig Productions and Ammo by Mig enamels. Comments and criticism welcomed as always! 64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRK Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Looks pretty flawless to me, brilliant modelling. One of my favourite tanks too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fittedkitchens Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Top notch. The Crusader always looks good in that camo scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nenad Ilijic Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Nice work Scott! Superb paintwork and weathering! I like what you did with stowage as well. Interesting choice of markings. Never saw them before on 6AD tanks. Is this from Tunisian campaign? Cheers, Nenad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The markings are of my own choosing to represent my favorite army from the tabletop wargame Flames of War and are not meant to be historically accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saeran Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I have this in my stash. If I could reach even near this standard when I get round to build it I would be amazed. Superb work! As a side note, does anyone know of a good stockist in the UK of the storage items that Scooty mentions? Edited June 16, 2021 by Saeran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 That IS good. Really nice. I'd love to get one of these but I'm waiting for the upgraded kit (for the senior modeller) with nice rubber band or Tamiya style link and length tracks.. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 A great replica of one of my favourite tanks. A shame the performance didn’t match its looks. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was based with XF-60 with a little bit of white added but the final color was a combination of layers using AK Real Color Light Stone (RC040) and MRP Light Stone (MRP-337).
