The real subject

The British Cromwell cruiser tank was among the fastest Allied tanks of the Second World War and was armed with a 75 mm gun. The Cromwell Mk IV was deployed from 1944, among other places with British and allied armored units in Normandy. The version with the very late muzzle brake represents a later configuration of the barrel.

Use and fitting

• Cut off the plastic barrel and clean up the seat in the mantlet.
• Glue the metal parts with super glue.
• Degrease before painting and prime with a primer for metal.

Who the set is for

• Builders of British armor in 1:35.
• Modelers who want an accurate late muzzle brake.
• Collectors of cruiser tanks.

This is an accessory (a metal barrel), not a model in itself. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
