Mk.IV (Late)

A13 Cruiser Tank Mk.IVA/Mk.IV (Late)/CS (N. Africa)

As both the A9 and the A10 were considered too slow for the Cruiser role and as great hopes had been placed in the newly acquired Christie suspension, it was decided to develop a new, faster AFV which in October 1937 resulted in the A13 Cruiser Mk.III. The A13 Mk.III (Upgrade) had the "spaced armour" faceted sides on the turret. Despite this extra weight (1,200Lbs.) this AFV could still attain speeds of nearly 40mph.

The later Mk.IVA had a new external gun mantlet and our kit comes with the option of the 2pdr. gun or the 3.7" howitzer for the Close Support (CS) variant. The "A" in the nomenclature indicates the fitting of the Besa 7.92mm MG instead of the earlier Vickers .303 MG.

The A13 Mk.IV (Late) was essentially an improved Mk.IVA with a new style mantlet but still included the extra armour protection on the hull nose, glacis and turret front, and the "spaced armour" faceted sides on the turret. This AFV could still attain speeds of nearly 40mph.
