About product

PANZER ART 1:35 sandbags for the A15 Crusader

A set of cast improvised sandbag armor for the British A15 Crusader cruiser tank in 1:35 scale. The parts are shaped to particular areas of the vehicle, so all you do is seat them and fill the seam. Modeling the individual bags by hand from putty is a job for several evenings and the result tends to come out irregular.

The real subject

The Crusader was a fast British cruiser tank used above all in North Africa. Its armor was thin and the crews added to it in the field with whatever was at hand: sandbags, spare track links and boxes. The real protective value of such a layer was limited, but its look turns a model into a machine from the battlefield rather than from the factory.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent, cut the casting blocks off with a saw and try the fit dry. Bond with super glue and fill the seam against the armor. Paint the canvas flat and let the shades between the individual bags vary slightly. On vehicles in Africa work light dust into the folds, because that is where it collects in canvas the most.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of British armor in 1:35 scale
  • Owners of Crusader models
  • Modelers building the North African theater
  • Those who do not want to model bags from putty
  • More experienced builders used to cast parts

The set is an accessory to a kit and does not replace the kit. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
