Title: Crusaders (the tanky ones, with guns)
Post by: Wulf on 09 June 2018, 11:50:34 AM
After the upgraded early British Cruisers, any chance of an upgrade to the Crusader types? They look rather squat - on checking, they're spot on in length for 1:160 scale, but about 2mm too wide (which is a lot in 1:160...) Possibly they were the right width until some rather chunky sideskirts were added. I'm not fond of the turret proportions either, especially the Crusader III.

Probably at some point, but no timescales on it yet.  The revamping process is a bit of domino rally, as soon as we do one vehicle there's another that then needs doing to look right with the first one...!

Considering we use 1:150th for our models, it's probably a bit too small overall!  This is the trouble with having items that are 20+ years old now, they were done by a variety of designers over the years and I don't think they always worked to the right measurements at times.  We're working on getting them all correct but it'll be a long process.

I thought it was 1:160... Well, in that case it's exactly the right width but too short!  :D
