Crusader III AA Mk.1
British Anti Aircraft gun w. Bofors 40mm
1/35 scale
plastic modelkit
ref: Italeri 6465
The 6-pounder was replaced with a Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft gun with an autoloader and powered mounting in an open-topped turret.
The crew numbered four: gun commander, gun layer, loader, and driver.
However, those Crusader III, AA Mk I used in NW Europe from D-day on did not have the turret,
but a 40 mm Bofors gun mounted directly on the hull top with its standard shield.
