Crusader Mk II British Tank, Up Close

[@blakeroskelley9584]

The Crusader tanks are great looking vehicles but this variant with the 2 Pounder is the best looking one to me. It’s one of the best looking tanks if not the best of WW2.

I think you've confused this Mark II as a Mark III. An easy way to tell the two apart is the gun being smaller on the Mk.II (2pdr) and larger on the Mk.III (6pdr), plus the Mk.II having the rounded turret front (as it is on this one) and the Mk.III having the flat turret front.

I was about to say the same thing; that looks more like the 2 pdr rather than the 6 pdr. Also the cast turret face looks like the mk. II, the Mk. III has a flat plate on the front of the turret with an internal gun mantle.

Jacked up on bricks in true British fashion, but no wheels nicked?

haha, not yet, just a matter of time before some indigenous chops it up for scrap metal. The street manhole covers are just about gone.
