This is a Tamiya-Italeri Series model kit based upon the Italeri British Cruiser Tank Mk.VI Crusader Mk.III. Like other products in the series, it updates the original Italeri kit & it has new and updated parts from the Italian maker, plus Tamiya figures, decals and instruction manual, all packaged in a new Tamiya box! The Crusader was an important tank for British forces in North Africa and the Mk.III variant was up-gunned with a 6-pounder gun and more reliable engine that made it a force to be reckoned with. This effectiveness made it the most produced tank in the Crusader family.
