While the Sherman remained the workhorse of the British armoured division, the Cromwells were fast and mobile and used largely in a reconassaince role. \n\nIt was designed to be fitted with a high velocity QF 6 pounder anti tank gun but this was replaced by the dual purpose 75MM which fired more effective HE. Ultimately the QF 75mm was developed as a 6 Pounder that fired US 75mm ammunition. Mk IV Cromwells were fitted with this from November 1943.\n\nIncludes instructions and two decal options - 5th Royal Horse Artillery, 7th Armoured Division and 11th Armoug
