A10 Cruisers (15mm, 3d print) 2018-12-07-a10

This is a pair of 3d printed 1:100 scale British WWII A10 Cruisers, along with some 15mm Battlefront BEF figures in my sabot bases. The model is by m_bergman (I think), very slightly modified by me.

There are some definite issues with these prints: the side shields didn't print, I suspect because they were too thin, and I got a bit of warping on the turret base, a problem I haven't had to deal with for months. Also, on one of them there is a slight layer shift with associated under-extrusion, and what might have caused that I don't yet know. However, neither of them is so poor that it needs to be binned, and they'll do fine on the wargames table.

I am going to have to do a bit of tinkering with my printer though, to get it back to printing properly again.

Excellent Fitz!

Just one comment. It is my knowledge (I may be wrong) that all cruiser tanks belonged to the 1st Armoured Division, which come to france in late may 1940, after the BEF.
So, they lacked the white square AFV symbol.

Regards,

Diego
