Cruiser Tank Mk.I CS (Close Support), 1st Armoured Division, British Expeditionary Force, France 1940

First of three A9 Cruiser Tank Mk.I's from the Plastic Soldier Company boxing. Mainly built OOB but added some extra detail.

Truly excellent. What details were added? And what do you do with all of these tanks and other models that you build?

[Beano Boy]

Terrific Painting Style!
Really well presented too.BB

Excellent work.

This particular vehicle, representing all that was wrong with British early war tanks is a masterpiece of modelling and painting in my opinion.

You can almost hear it clanking along!

Best wishes,

Chris

Thank you very much for all the kind comments!

What details were added?

Here you have a glimpse:


Mainly tools, lights, grabhandles and hatch detail.

what do you do with all of these tanks and other models that you build?

Nothing! They are standing in my cupboard for eternity.

There are three kits in the box. This is the second one, which I tried to build as different as possible from the first, inspired by this picture:

Really fantastic weathering and presentation.

Tanks are not really my thing.
But yours look really good.
And the pictures are great, too.
Good work.

Desert War is my topic as well! Very good work!

Brilliant Painting Style!
The Plastic Soldier Company produce fine Kits and three in a box
makes it well worth the pocket money price one pays. BB

Nice that PSC do a A9 cruiser tank.
Well done huib. With all the small additions, lamps.
And tankers in or on top of a tank is always good.
An A9 is also on my to do list. One in Greece jumps in my head around.

Thank you very much guys, for your nice comments.

One in Greece jumps in my head around.

Working on one right now!

Fabulous painting on both of these tanks and the photos are excellent; I had to remind myself that the real one was in black and white.
