1:72 IBG Models 72156 Cromwell Mk.IV Hull Type C with Deep Wading Equipment WWII - British Cruiser Tank Plastic Model kit

With the 1:72 IBG Models 72156 Cromwell Mk.IV Hull Type C with Deep Wading Equipment, you can build a distinctive British cruiser tank from the Second World War in a configuration closely associated with the Allied landings in Normandy. The Cromwell Mk.IV was known for its speed, agility and reliable powerplant and became one of the key British tanks used during the advance through Northwest Europe.

For the landings and the subsequent Allied build-up, many Cromwells were fitted with deep-wading equipment. The tall vertical intake and exhaust trunks allowed the tanks to leave landing craft and drive through relatively deep water onto the beaches. Once ashore, crews usually removed the bulky equipment as quickly as possible because the extra height and weight reduced mobility and made the tank a more visible target.

The Cromwell was powered by a 600 hp Rolls-Royce Meteor V12 engine and armed with a 75 mm ROQF gun and two 7.92 mm Besa machine guns. Although its armour and main armament were not among the heaviest of the war, its combination of speed, low profile and reliability made it highly useful for reconnaissance, flanking attacks and rapid movement. Cromwell tanks were also used by the Polish 1st Armoured Division.
