Title: A13 Cruiser Tank
Post by: Bob C on February 13, 2022, 06:37:26 PM

Next on the line is the 1/35 scale Bronco A13 Cruiser tank.
I've started putting the suspension and hull together, the upper hull on this kit is twisted so will need a bit of fiddling and extra glue to hold it down.
I remember Jeff building one of this a few years ago saying the tracks where a little short, some kit reviews say the same, so I've tried a little bit of stretching of the tracks and it slowly seems to work will see how good this turns out when i try to fit them.

Hi Bob,
Plenty to keep you occupied with this one.
Look forward to it getting the 'Big Bob' treatment.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Always too many bits on a Bronco kit, but they are nice.

One of my themes at the moment is the BEF Chris.
It's a bit of a pain at the moment but slowly getting there.

Done a bit more and so far this is one of the worst armoured kit I've built.
Hull top twisted, short tracks, as can be seen from the picture the engine covers are short all so far can be fixed, but only continuing because it's one that is needed for the theme. I have another one that will probably go for sale.
Must have been a Friday afternoon press and quality check.
Any way less moaning this is it so far.
