Recreate one of Britain’s most successful WWII cruiser tanks with the Tamiya British Cromwell Mk.IV 1/48 scale assembly kit (HC-32528). Compact yet highly detailed, it captures the Cromwell’s clean, Spartan lines with crisp surface textures and a weighty diecast chassis for realistic presence on display.
A versatile 75 mm-armed vehicle, the Cromwell built its reputation from Normandy through to the dash across Northern France, Belgium and Holland. This kit reflects hallmark features such as the turret’s prominent rivets, perpendicular hull plates, and the large-diameter road wheels that enabled its notable speed.

One of the most successful tanks fielded by the British in WWII, the Cromwell compared favourably with tanks of similar weight such as the Sherman and Panzer IV. Most were armed with the 75mm Q.F. Mk.V/VA, which was based on the 6 Pdr. but chambered to fire American ammunition. This was a very good dual-purpose gun, able to destroy enemy anti-tank guns at long range, or penetrate the frontal armour of a Panzer IV at normal battle ranges. However it was less effective against German heavy tanks. The Cromwell first saw action during the Normandy campaign, where it was at a disadvantage as it could not use its superior speed and agility, but this changed after the fighting moved to open country. Cromwell tanks made some spectacular advances in their pursuit of the Germans across Northern France, Belgium and Holland. The Cromwell served again in Korea and was finally retired in the late 1950s.
