Tamiya 1/48 Crusader Mk.III Anti-Aircraft Tank 32546

The Tamiya 1/48 Crusader Mk.III Anti-Aircraft Tank is a plastic model kit in the Tamiya 1/48 Military Plastic Model Kits. This plastic kit requires paint and glue to complete.

Although replaced on the front lines by more capable tanks, the British Crusader cruiser tank was still useful in other roles. The Crusader Mk.III was used as a base to meet a requirement for a mobile anti-aircraft gun, resulting in the Crusader AA Mk.I, which featured a Bofors 40mm cannon mounted in an open topped turret. To better counter low-flying aircraft, the Crusader AA Mk.II armed with two 20mm Oerlikon cannons was developed, which was slightly modified to result in the Mk.III, which moved the radio to the hull to free up space in the gun turret. A total of about 600 AA Mk.II/Mk.III were produced and they served in Europe from Normandy onwards.
