Crusader Mk.III in 1/48 Scale, Historically Styled

The Tamiya 32555 reproduces the British Crusader Mk.III Cruiser Tank at 1/48 scale, reflecting the vehicle's role in desert operations and its focus on mobility. The kit is crafted to suit collectors and modellers who prioritise accurate shape and period detail.

Model Highlights

This release includes revised parts to represent the larger 6-pounder main gun found on the Mk.III. The die-cast chassis adds a realistic weight and stable display stance, while the assembly-type tracks feature an upper run sag for a lifelike look when mounted.

Ideal Display Settings

The Tamiya Crusader Mk.III pairs well with desert dioramas or mixed lineups of Allied and Axis vehicles. Three marking options are supplied, letting modellers pick authentic wartime schemes to suit their display narrative.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Main Gun: 6-pounder
  • Chassis: Die-cast for added realism
  • Tracks: Assembly type with realistic sag
  • Markings: Includes three types

How detailed is the 1/48 Tamiya Crusader Mk.III kit?

The kit captures external details and silhouette at 1/48 scale, offering accurate fittings like the 6-pounder gun and realistic track sag that make it suitable for display-level builds.

Are the tracks flexible after assembly or fixed?

Tracks are assembly type and can be glued for a static display or left with minimal attachment to retain a bit of movement before final fixing. This gives modellers choice in how they present the vehicle.

What paints and tools work best for finishing this kit?

Standard acrylic or enamel model paints suit the plastic and die-cast parts; use fine brushes and masking for markings. Light weathering powders and washes will enhance the desert look without obscuring detail.
