1/72 British Crusader Mk.ICS Cruiser Tank VI Type Close Air Support Type

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

This cruiser tank was developed by expanding the A13 cruiser tank as a Christie-type cruiser tank. The Covenanter, developed at about the same time, was not practical, so the Crusader was adopted as the mainstay. As the weight increased to 20 tons, the drive train continued to malfunction, but it was widely used because there were no other tanks available for battle in Britain at the time. In the Mk.I type, the turret was placed next to the driver, but since there was no ventilation system, it was not able to be used; it was removed in the later improved type. British tanks initially consisted of vehicles equipped with a 2-pounder gun, and a vehicle equipped with a 3-inch gun for close air support; the 3-inch gun type was called the CS type.
