Tamiya 32528 - 1/48 British Cromwell Tank  [32528]

Cromwell Mk.IV British Cruiser Tank Mk.VIII, A27M

Holding on the Cruiser Tank Tradition

Probably one of the most effective tanks fielded by the British in WWII, the Cromwell contrasted positively with tanks of similar weight including the Sherman and Panzer IV. Many were armed with all the 75mm Q.F. Mk.V/VA, that was on the basis of the 6 Pdr. but chambered to fire United states ammunition. This was an excellent dual-purpose weapon, able to destroy enemy anti-tank firearms at long range, or penetrate the front armor of a Panzer IV at normal battle ranges. Nonetheless it ended up being less effective against German heavy tanks. The Cromwell first saw action during the Normandy campaign, in which it was at a drawback as it could not utilize its superior rate and agility, but this changed after the fighting relocated to start country. Cromwell tanks made some spectacular advances in their search for the Germans across Northern France, Belgium and Holland. The Cromwell served once again in Korea and ended up being finally resigned in late 1950's.
