| Details:
The Crusader
came from the same development as the A15 Covenanter
and was produced from 1940 to 1943 with 5300 vehicles
delivered. They were withdrawn from front line service
from May 1943 with many being converted for other uses
including AA Tanks. (see BB09)
Our model represents
this tank as it appeared in late 1941/ early 1942 as
they arrived in the North Africa still having their
standard UK track guards. Some where used in this configuration
prior to having the late type of sand shields fitted
as per our kit BB08.
