25754 – Scale 1 : 56 Cromwell Mk. IV

Description

WWll TANK COLLECTION – 55 PARTS – HIGHLY DETAILED KIT – 1 FIGURE – SUPER DECALS FOR 2 VERSIONS

The Cromwell tank was developed during the Second World War by the British Army to replace the outdated Crusader in the role of “Cruiser Tank.” The Cromwell was characterized by its very high speed, which could reach over 60 km/h, and great manoeuvrability. While speed was often limited to prevent excessive wear on the tank’s mechanics, especially its suspension, it was balanced with decent armor and good armament. The main 75mm gun mounted in the turret was powerful enough in engagements against similar armored vehicles and could use the same ammunition as other Allied tanks like the American Sherman. Additionally, the Cromwell effectively served in the close support role for infantry.
