Crusader Mk.III Anti Aircraft Tank with 40mm Bofors Gun (Plastic model) - HobbySearch Military Model Store

This item is limited to 3 per household.

--The Crusader was no longer used as a tank after the North African Campaign, but was used as a base for various auxiliary vehicles.
--The anti-aircraft self-propelled gun was developed because the experience of the war against North Africa recognized the need for an anti-aircraft self-propelled gun that could accompany the tank unit.
-Type I was a Bofors 40mm gun mounted type, and Type II / III was an Oerlikon 20mm twin type.
-Type I was equipped with one Bofors 40mm gun on a platform equipped with a large quadrangular pyramid-shaped shield equipped with a ring of the same diameter as the original turret.
--Auxiliary engine was also installed for turning the platform.
――Therefore, it was impossible to shoot while driving, and it was used for base air defense.
--Since it was used after Normandy, the Luftwaffe is engaged in air defense missions, and it was used for ground attack support with little aviation threat.
