Description
Crusader, in full “Tank, Cruiser Mk VI, Crusader“, also known by its General Staff number A.15, was one of the primary British cruiser tanks during the early part of the Second World War. Over 5,000 tanks were manufactured and they made important contributions to the British victories during the North African campaign. The Crusader only saw active service in Africa but the chassis of the tank was modified to create anti-aircraft, fire support, observation, communication, bulldozer and recovery vehicle variants.
The Crusader II had increased armour on hull front and turret front. As with the Mk I, the auxiliary turret was often removed.
Set consists of 15 fine metal 1:600th/3mm scale miniatures.
