Here, for the first time in the Middle East campaign, an Australian Cavalry Regiment was equipped with modern armour, in the form of British Crusader Mark 2 Cruiser tanks, M3 Stuart Light tanks as well as the ubiquitous Machine Gun Carriers. They provided two squadrons for the protection of the Headquarters of the 9th Australian Division, becoming involved in several tank versus tank engagements. During these actions several Universal Carriers were destroyed and some Crusaders were damaged.
Models are from 1/72 scale Hasegawa and were fun to make , some minor flaws but most parts fitted well
The base is part of an Imex 1/25 scale display case , it has clear plastic top that clips on to keep it dust free
