Scale Reproduction of the Crusader Mk.III

The Tamiya 32555 depicts the British Crusader Mk.III at 1/48 scale, emphasising its battlefield silhouette and mobility traits. The kit is made for modellers who want a faithful small-scale representation of this wartime cruiser tank.

Core Kit Features

This moulding includes specific parts for the larger 6-pounder main armament fitted to the Mk.III. A die-cast chassis provides heft and a natural stance, while the assembly-type tracks include an upper-run droop that enhances realism when displayed.

Display Pairings and Uses

The model suits arid theatre dioramas and works well alongside other Crusader types or period armour. It ships with three marking choices so you can finish it to match different historical units.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Main Gun: 6-pounder
  • Chassis: Die-cast for added realism
  • Tracks: Assembly type with realistic sag
  • Markings: Includes three types
Use standard plastic cement for polystyrene parts and a cyanoacrylate or specialised metal glue for die-cast joins. Test on scrap pieces to ensure secure bonding without damage.
Many modellers fit aftermarket photo-etch or resin detail sets for added realism. Check part compatibility and whether changes affect the fit of original components before fitting upgrades.
While achievable for newcomers, the kit benefits from basic modelling skills to manage small parts and track assembly. Beginners may prefer guidance or step-by-step builds to get the best result.
