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 7th armoured division and in
the armoured recce regts of the Guards and 11th Armoured Divisions. Even the 6th
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.
