British Cromwell Cruiser Tank Troop

Description

The most produced Cruiser tank of the European theatre! Armed with a potent 75mm gun and with good cross country performance this vehicle was more than a match for the venerable Panzer IV! Though sadly it was still outclassed by the German “Big Cats” Cromwells were used in the 7^th armoured division and in the armoured recce regts of the Guards and 11^th Armoured Divisions. Even the 6^th Airborne armoured recce regt acquired about 8 Cromwells in Normandy and kept hold of them during the Winter fighting in “The Bulge”.

Normally a troop would comprise 3 Cromwells and a Firefly.

The new kit includes an optional Culin Prong hedgerow cutter for those of you wanting to burst through the Normandy bocage! It also comes with a full-colour waterslide decal sheet with many options in terms of the formation you can build – British, Canadian and Polish units are included
