Lockdown Workbench – Adam Craske’s 1/76th Scale Crusaders

Adam Craske has sent us pics of not just one, but a whole set of Crusaders, all in 1/76 scale.

They are based on the Airfix kit, with corrections : the hulls are reduced in length by 5mm (mostly from the front of the engine deck), the engine decks rescribed and the lockers replaced. The roadwheels, either Friendship Models or modified Airfix Cromwell, are repositioned. The Bofors gun is an old Airfix build (probably about 40 years old) with a new shield & sights while the Oerlikons are scratchbuilt. Paints are Humbrol & Colourcoats, all brushed.
