Flames of War British Crusader AA Troop
The Crusader tank chassis was adapted into a mobile anti-aircraft platform to protect British armored formations from German air attack. Fitted with twin or triple 20mm Oerlikon or Bofors guns, the Crusader AA was fast, mobile, and able to keep pace with advancing tank columns. These vehicles provided vital cover against the Luftwaffe while also offering suppressive firepower against soft ground targets.
Product Info:
This set includes plastic Crusader AA tanks with build options, a decal sheet, a tank commander sprue, and unit cards for Flames of War.
About the Vehicle:
By 1944, Allied forces dominated the skies, but earlier in the war mobile AA was critical for keeping German aircraft at bay. The Crusader AA Troop ensured that British tank units could advance without fear of being caught vulnerable by enemy dive-bombers. With its rapid-fire guns, the Crusader AA could also turn its firepower against infantry, trucks, and light vehicles, making it a versatile support unit.
About the Models:
In 15mm scale, this plastic kit features detailed Crusader AA variants with multiple build options. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models allow hobbyists to field historically accurate AA support for their British armored formations. Unit cards are included for easy integration into Flames of War armies.
