Tank, Cruiser, Mk VII, Cromwell (A27M)

 

                                                 Right, let's just go with "Cromwell," OK.

With only4000 units built, Cromwell's were not the most common tank in the British Army. Yet with its high speed 64kn/h (40 mph), good armor 76-100mm (3 to 4 inches) on reliable 75mm (2.953 inch) main gun the Cromwell was popular with its crews. 

Cromwell's saw heavy service from 1944 to the end of World War II in Europe, as well as action in the '48 Arab Israeli War and the Korean War.

After World War II, some Cromwell's found service with the Greek, Israeli, Polish and Portuguese Armies. 

         By the mid-1950's, they were no longer frontline units in the British Army.

This is a plastic piece that I put together and painted this month.
