Eduard 35279 Crusader Mk. III 1/35 Italeri – photo-etched detail set for tank model

The Eduard 35279 Crusader Mk. III 1/35 photo-etched set was designed with enthusiasts of World War II armored military vehicle modeling in mind. Created specifically for the Crusader Mk. III model by Italeri in the popular 1/35 scale, this product allows you to elevate the level of detail on your replica of the British tank, which played an important role in the North African battles of 1942-1943.

The British Crusader Mk. III light tank was a development of earlier Crusader versions. It was used mainly by British and Commonwealth forces, entering service during World War II—especially in the desert campaign. The Mk. III variant was distinguished by the use of a more effective 6-pounder gun, allowing it to engage German and Italian tanks of the era.

The Eduard 35279 kit contains two high-quality photo-etched fret sheets with precisely cut metal detailing parts. They serve to significantly enrich the model with realistic details such as:

• stowage bins and crew equipment baskets
• vent grille components
• handles, locks, and armor surface details
• hatch panels, retaining straps, tool details

This set is dedicated to Italeri models in 1/35 scale, so it fits perfectly with most available Crusader Mk. III releases from this company. The product belongs to the "photo-etched detail set for plastic models" category, and its main material is thin, precisely etched brass sheet.

We recommend the Eduard 35279 set to both advanced modelers and all enthusiasts of British World War II armored forces who want to take their model to a higher level of realism. Due to the precise processing and assembly of small parts required, we recommend this product to persons with intermediate to advanced modeling experience (difficulty level 4/5).

Using Eduard's photo-etched details is an excellent way to give your Crusader Mk. III a professional diorama look or make it a striking addition to your military collection!
