Kit Contents & Key Highlights

  • Scale: 1:35, plastic assembly kit by Italeri (kit #6592 in many markets). 
  • Includes nine figures in varied poses, plus stowage, equipment, and interior/crew accessories.
  • Multiple marking schemes (at least 3) with high-quality decal sheet. 
  • Gluable rubber tracks included (not link-type).
  • Good external detail and fit, typical of Italeri’s cruiser-tank line. 

Build Tips & Advice

- Dry-fit hull and turret halves before gluing to ensure alignment.
- When assembling the crew, decide early which hatches will be open, and leave access to interior detail if you plan to paint them.
- The stowage and accessories may overlap or crowd depending on figure placement — plan layout before final gluing.
- Use fine washes and filters to pick out panel lines, rivets, and shadow to enhance detail.
- Work carefully with the rubber tracks — sometimes they stretch differently, apply gentle tension, and glue in manageable segments.

Why This Kit Is Valuable

Compared to a vehicle-only kit, adding figures increases your ability to tell a story in the build. The Crusader tank was a mainstay of British armored forces in the North African theater. Having crew figures allows you to depict action scenes — men signaling, loading, or resting. The combination of vehicle and human elements improves visual impact in dioramas.
