Firing a high explosive hollow charge shell, the tank was used to overcome fortified positions, such as concrete bunkers and pillboxes which stood in the way of the infantrys advance and could even lay smoke-screens if required. With its distinctively short barrel, the Mk.VI also featured a large counterweight on its main armament, which was necessary in helping to balance the gun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eApproximately 340 of these specialist tanks were eventually produced, which would prove to be extremely effective as Allied ground units pushed German forces back towards their homeland.

Due to a relatively protracted development, however, there can be some confusion with these tanks, as similar looking machines were named Centaur and Cromwell, with both being derived from the A24 Cruiser Mark VII Cavalier, the name given to the original intended Crusader replacement programme.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe main reason for the different names refers to the three different engine types which were used to power the individual vehicles. The A27M Cromwell Mk.IV was the most heavily produced version of the new Cruiser Tank Mk.VIII and matched the Centaur hull with the highly effective Rolls Royce Meteor engine (A27Meteor), which allowed the tank to travel at impressively high speeds. The tank also featured a quick firing 75mm gun, which was a re-bored version of the British 6 pounder gun and allowed the commander to have the option of using American produced armor piercing or high explosive rounds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlthough originally introduced in November 1943, persistent problems with the new guns operation meant that the Mk.IV would not make its combat introduction until the Normandy landings in June 1944, where its speed and mobility would complement the Sherman tanks, which were available in greater numbers. During the savage fighting in the narrow hedgerow lined lanes of the Normandy battlefield, the excellent mobility of the Cromwell was somewhat nullified and even worse than that, as tanks were forced to climb these steep banks, they exposed their vulnerable undersides to potential armor piercing Panzerfaust attack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe simple solution was to attach a steel blade hedge cutter to the front of the tank, which allowed the commander to scythe through the obstacle, keeping his tank level and still able to bring his guns to bear. This addition even provided some welcome natural foliage camouflage for the tank, as long as the bushes didn't obstruct his gun aiming sights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eItem #A1373\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAirfix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm):\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e11.8\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm):\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e5.3\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eItem Scale:1:72\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eContents (what's in the box) sets:Sprues, decals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFinish:Plastic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNumber of Scheme options:2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSkill Level:3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFlying Hours:3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFREE tech support 1-877-729-2099\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section section--default\" id=\"schemes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cform action=\"https:\/\/us.airfix.com\/products\/post\" class=\"form island u-mb-double\" data-action=\"post\" data-behaviour=\"form-post\" data-endpoint=\"\/api\/cart\/add\/?langPath=airfix-us\" data-enabled=\"true\" novalidate=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"media\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003e\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section section--default\" id=\"schemes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\u003cform action=\"https:\/\/us.airfix.com\/products\/post\" class=\"form island u-mb-double\" data-action=\"post\" data-behaviour=\"form-post\" data-endpoint=\"\/api\/cart\/add\/?langPath=airfix-us\" data-enabled=\"true\" novalidate=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"media\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003e\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39467104010371,"sku":"A1373","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/4898\/2590\/products\/a1373_1_cromwell-mkiv_pack.jpg?v=1629393377"},{"product_id":"avro-lancaster-b-iii-1-72-scale-a08013a-airfix","title":"Avro Lancaster B.III 1\/72 Scale | A08013A | Airfix","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInformation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAvro Lancaster B.III\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAs the third of Britain's four engined heavy bombers to enter RAF service during WWII, the Avro Lancaster proved to be an exceptional aircraft, possessing a large unobstructed bomb bay, which allowed it to carry some of the largest bombs of the war.
