CRAARV looks good but the Cr1 still has obvious issues on it … Would be good to see more angles of it … And dont forget Trumpy Cr2’s …

Would be nice to see the front and if they have sorted that out with the correct height across the upper glacis … the openings either side of the drivers cab are still there so I wont hold my breath.

Looks like storage box the right way round on hinges, front plate flat.

Oh dear - more CAD work in my future!

I wonder if they’ll make the wheels round this time?

Too bad, I recently bought the Tamiya kit, & it is mostly done (camo right now, still needs clearcoats & decals + weathering). Using the nylon nets for the stowage racks was a pain, but it wasn’t in the budget to get PE.

I use this trick.

  1. small drop of CA-glue on a hard surface (glass, porcelain, et.c)
  2. soak a small area of the net, blow away the excess (breath or airbrush)
  3. repeat with another small area, add mor CA if needed

Good ventilation is mandatory, those CA-fumes are not pleasant …

A new Cr 1 has to be a good thing, right? I’d better hurry up and start the Tamiya Cr 1 I just got a metric $#!+ ton of AM for…

Trumpie’s first Cr2 had a slight wheel issue due to poor moulding IIRC. They fixed it eventually but it was a classic mistake…

To be honest, looking at those new images, I will be sticking with the Tamiya Cr1 and adapting it… I can to many potential issues with it.
