AIRFIX A1374 CRUISER MK.VIII A27M CROMWELL MK.VI - 1:35

Although the new British A27M Cromwell tank would not make its combat introduction until the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944, speed and mobility of this excellent new tank would soon earn it an enviable reputation among Allied troops, who came to rely on the support they provided. Most Cromwell tanks were armed with the standard 75mm ROQF gun, however, the less numerous Mk.VI variant would provide close support to specialist infantry with its 95mm howitzer and was consequently never too far from the 'action.

Firing a high-explosive hollow-charge projectile, the tank was used to overcome fortified positions, such as concrete bunkers and blockhouses that hindered the infantry's advance and, if necessary, could also lay smoke screens. With its typically short barrel, the Mk.VI also featured a large counterweight on its main armament, necessary to help balance the gun. Approximately 340 of these specialized tanks were eventually produced, which would prove extremely effective when the units were deployed. Allied land forces pushed the German forces back to their homeland. Despite their impressive speed, the Cromwells were no match for the firepower of German heavy tanks and would have to rely on speed. and on stealth for their survival on the battlefield.
