Create the Cromwell with its convenient 1/56 scale and ease of assembly
About the real vehicle:
The Cromwell Mk. IV, which began production in 1943, served as a main battle tank for the British Army during the latter half of World War II. It was developed as an evolution of earlier models such as the Crusader and Centaur, featuring a newly developed Meteor engine as a major characteristic. This engine was an improvement on the renowned Merlin engine, originally used in fighter planes, providing significantly more power compared to the Liberty engine used in previous cruiser tanks. This enhancement improved the mobility of cruiser tanks, which had been increasing in armor thickness and size. Initially, the Cromwell was equipped with the British 6-pounder gun, but the Cromwell Mk. IV was armed with a 75mm tank gun with a 36.5 caliber. This increased its anti-tank capabilities and firepower. After the Normandy landings, it appeared on the European front and engaged with German armored units, and was also deployed in the Korean War after the war.
About the model:
This model is a plastic assembly kit that reproduces the British Army's cruiser tank, the Cromwell, in 1/56 scale. The kit models the Cromwell Mk. IV type equipped with a 75mm gun. With a finished length of 113mm, it vividly captures the powerful appearance of the tank in a flat configuration. The turret is sharply depicted with a hexagonal shape. The thickness of the armor, along with surface detailing, contributes to a realistic finish. The upper part of the hull is a single piece, while the lower section consists of a box-shaped part combined with left and right side wall parts. The side wall parts are molded with the road wheels integrated, making for a straightforward and hassle-free assembly of the complex lower structure. Additionally, the tracks are represented as two separate parts, top and bottom. This kit brilliantly balances easy assembly with a realistic finish. It is recommended for beginners looking for a manageable project, and it also serves as a valuable base for veteran modelers looking to enhance it further.
