Airfix - Cruiser Mk.VIII A27M Cromwell Mk.VI - 1:35 (A1374)
Even though the new British A27M Cromwell Tank would not make
its combat introduction until the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944, the
speed and mobility of this excellent new tank would soon earn it an enviable
reputation amongst Allied troops, who came to rely on the support they provided. The
majority of Cromwell Tanks were armed with the standard 75mm ROQF gun, however, the
less numerous Mk.VI variant would provide specialist infantry close support with its
95mm Howitzer and were consequently never too far away from the action.
