IBG 72102 Cromwell Mk.IV British Tank (Hull Type C) 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the legendary British medium tank from World War II – the Cromwell Mk.IV with the C-type hull. This set allows both beginners and advanced modellers to create a faithful miniature of one of the Allies’ most important combat vehicles, reproduced in the popular 1/72 scale.

Historical information

The Cromwell Mk.IV tank was used by the British armed forces and some Allied units in 1944-1945, mainly during the fighting in Western Europe following the Normandy landings. It was distinguished by its excellent maneuverability, high speed, and effective 75 mm armament. The C-type hull, introduced in the later stages of production, featured a simplified construction and higher reliability. Cromwells took part, among others, in the Battle of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, and the crossing of the Rhine.
