WIP A13 Mk. II Cruiser Tank MK. IV

The Germans used spaced armor as well on the Pz IIIs (and tested on IVs but never implemented in production) in an effort to improve survivability without adding too much additional stress on the chassis, so it was a concept that was played with on both sides. That and of course the concept of schurzen as protection against AT rifles (and later bazookas and shaped charges) and there was a lot of experimental effort when it came to armor...stuff that's still being applied today when you look at things like bar armor to protect against RPGs or reactive/spaced armor on battle tanks.

i'm with Bill on this i NEVER seen that and i read the build review that's nuts.  AWESOME WORK constructor

wbill76, I was surprised myself when I looked at the instructions. Wow! space armor in WWII!

I learned something new today as a result of this update...never knew the Brits played around with spaced armor on the A13. Looking good!

The kit is from Bronco, they ar various versions of the A13.
