A-9 Cruiser Tank - 28mm

This is a 28mm model of the early war British Cruiser tank Mk 1, the A-9. Although only 120 copies were made is served with the BEF in France in 1940, in the Western Desert and in Greece in 1941.
I started with Tiger Ace's outstanding early war pack file of the A-9, enlarged it from 1/100th to 1/56th, add

• sliced the tracks off into separate files


• flattened the hull bottom - the A-9 and A-10 had "V" shaped hulls, but that poses issues with FDM printing so I played with history and made the bottom flat, as per the CAD pic in this post


• created assembly notches for the tracks.


• created turret pivot posts separate from the turrets, to minimize support required in print.


• separated the main guns from the turrets to allow for a cleaner print


• created a more defined shovel and track tool on the right side hull

The photos show both the 2 pounder armed turret plus the 3" Howitzer armed close support version.

The file enlarged from 1/100th with still wonderful detail, and the test print came out well.
