Yes, Ariete I know. But the Russian climate is always full of surprises. And what I've seen sofar is that nobody ever is surprised about the winterconditions. Today it was +4 and sunny, now, a few hours later its -7. Sometimes temperature can change very rapidly in one or two hours to far below zero. So even when its warm I always take warm clothes with me at my walks through the forests. It kan kill you otherwise..

Major Pain, Beautiful M13/40 but the gun? Is it not a bit to long?

This L3/55 looks tiny, doesn't it ? Love the rivets on the M13/M40 and this unit looks already great in it's factory skin.

Thanks Guys... @keep: The M13/40 Gun may be a bit longer than usual, but I used several resources and drawings that provided different lengths. So I used one in the middle. Sometimes Weapon Barrel Lengths are measured from where they attach at the breech rather than from the Mantlet or Gun Armor. Since most will recoil, the entire barrel should be measured, but that is how resources differed. @quin: I'm glad you like the Rivets... I'll be sure to tell the Rivet Crew... they worked overtime putting them in. I'm also glad you like the skin... I hired a new guy in the paint shed... He is about as color blind as I am... Yes the L3/35 was a tiny creature... almost not worth the effort... but they were common in Africa. Now for something really Special... This model took over 10 hours just to create the Turret and Weapon System... This better be the most accurate model of this Unit, or I'm going back to Shermans...

I appreciate 10 hours work spending on one thing, after about 11 hours I start to make strange noises and weird stuff comes out of my nose and ears

Sweet! This what I call a sharp-looking GMC! Would be a pleasure to put this babe instead of the vanilla one.

NOTICE!!!!! Well sometimes things just happen... This time it is the Main Gun Locator on the Crusader Add-Ons... Every one of the Models, (except the Close Support), have a defective Main Gun Locator. The Gun Locator is pointing upward rather than in line with the barrel. It is firing and hitting targets... but the round is arcing into the air and coming back down on the target. So the entire Series has been rebuilt.... with some new stuff included... You guys can comment on the extras if you wish. And there is some room to add a few models if you don't find the one you want. Don't go wild with request... keep it within options already built; Fender Options, Fuel Tanks, etc... I will announce when the Crusaders have been uploaded to my MediaFire Page and ready for Download. The AA Models are included... Thanks for all the Support...

That is correct.... well done sir... The Tractor is almost completed. I'm also building the Crusader OP; (Observation Post). This unit was used by the Royal Artillery For Spotting Targets for the Guns; Basically, a Forward Observer. The OP looked like a standard Crusader, but the Turret was fixed. The main gun was replaced by a tube or log so it looked like the real tank and could advance into the combat area with Armor units.
