Italeri makes the only 1-35th scale Crusader. They do the Mk. I/II and a Mk. III. Airfix made a 1-32nd scale Crusader Mk.III in th '70s that was quite nice.

The Italeri kit is pretty good too. I have the Mk.III, apart from the tracks and some small details like odd-shaped front fenders, it'll make a nice model.

The Mk. I/II has some issues with the mantlet, I am not sure exactly what however. There is a good article in AFV Modeller n.21 on the Mk.II. Osprey's "Crusader" book is an OK reference.

Mark Cooper has a Blog going on the kit too: http://www.track-link.net/forum/site_blogs/7162
