Tamiya Crusader III Tank 1/35th Scale

Finishing up the odd armor of early desert campaign. This is a cruiser tank as it could zip around at the high speed of 26 MPH. It was a terrible tank. Mechanically unreliable and the turret design sent shells into the crew compartment. Also it would catch on fire and the ammo explode when hit. One would be much better off in the tiny M3 Stuart seen in the last photo, It was faster and better armored.
Another from the 80s. Love the rivets and other details.
