Greetings,friends! After Magirus I decided to build something that I well know. British cruiser tanks is my favorite topic, so I decided to build A13. Unfortunately it is a very rare model on forums. That's why I will investigate all by myself. Fortunately we have one survived vehicle in Bovington.

This model is quite good. I don't change everything. All nuts are fuzzy. Plastic is very fragile. You need to be carefull evrytime you work with knife or drill. The instruction is incomprehensible, so I build everything in my way.

I bought some aftermarket years ago. Hull plate from Tiger Model etc. But I haven't decided yet will I substitude it or not. It is not very difficult but causes other problems with engine plate. At first look you will need to do new grills.

I started with lazy. Don't be very stricked. Some nuts are missing. Some not glued. Some places need putty. All of this will be in future stages.

Some WIP. It is only half of what I want and have to do with rear. Many thing will be added later. And if you have good photos or information about moments on a first photos marked with red I will be very greatful.
Lower armor plate is missing on a tank in Bovington. And holders... Are they on hatches?
