Several months ago, one Andy Lang contacted me asking for confirmation of some details on a set of plans of the Covenanter series which I drew way, way back in 1984. He was using them to make the master for a conversion set to produce a Covenanter using parts from the IBG Models Crusader Mk.I or Mk.II kits (Nos. 72065 and 72067). Since then I have followed its progress. It has understandably been held up by various restrictions due to Covid-19 but I am pleased to hear that it is now complete and ready for sale.
Given the differences between the two tanks the conversion amounts to a complete hull cast in resin which uses IBG’s turret and suspension/track parts plus an etched brass sheet for new mudguards and many details. Images of the set’s resin and brass parts are attached, together with photos of a completed model built from test shots of both.
