In the early phases of WWII, British forces were often attacked by low-flying Luftwaffe aircraft, so it was decided to develop an anti-aircraft vehicle to counter those attacks. Among these, the Crusader Mk.III Anti-Aircraft Tank Mk.III was the most polished. The model features the unique open turret features 20mm cannons, ammunition drums, and other internal details. Die-cast chassis gives weight to the model. Easy to assemble tracks feature one-piece straight sections with realistic sag effect. 2 types of markings included.
Although replaced on the front lines by more capable tanks, the British Crusader cruiser tank was still useful in other roles. The Crusader Mk.III was used as a base to meet a requirement for a mobile anti-aircraft gun, resulting in the Crusader AA Mk.I, which featured a Bofors 40mm cannon mounted in an open topped turret. To better counter low-flying aircraft, the Crusader AA Mk.II armed with two 20mm Oerlikon cannons was developed, which was slightly modified to result in the Mk.III, which moved the radio to the hull to free up space in the gun turret. A total of about 600 AA Mk.II/Mk.III were produced and they served in Europe from Normandy onwards.
