Description

The Crusader Mk.II With 8th Army Infantry produced by Italeri in 1/35 scale assembly kit, is classified in Scale Models - Military Series - Tanks

Created at the beginning of the next World War, the Crusader ended up being probably one of the most essential British "Cruiser" tanks reaching a production of over 5,000 devices. Equipped with Christie suspension system with large diameter rolling tires, the Crusader possessed remarkable driving abilities on rough terrain. The very first versions of Mk. I and Mk. II had been armed with a 2 pdr. cannon, later changed by the more effective 6 pdr. cannon into the Mk.IIwe version. Lacking adequate armor against enemy fire, it was also extremely susceptible to enemy mines and anti-tank weapons, and its particular armament ended up being often insufficient before similar German vehicles. But whenever found in a coordinated means, they was able to attain great results. The Crusaders Mk. II, aided by the arrival regarding the better Mk.III, were currently relegated to second-line duties during the battle of El Alamein.
