A13 Mk.IVA Cruiser Tank (BEF)
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. A total of 655 A13's were built with production ending in 1941. They saw action with the BEF with the 1st. Armoured Division and in the Western Desert with 7th.Armd. Div.
This model is of a later Mk.IVA with a external gun mantlet as used by the BEF and comes with optional 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.
