	Australian sentinel
		Given the title Australian Cruiser Tank Mark II (or AC2) this design was not liked by the Army who considered it to be too light for most purposes, but accepted it on the basis of rapid production, and that it would be better than nothing.
		A variety of alternative armaments were considered to increase the fire power of the Australian cruisers, including the 6 pounder anti-tank gun, the obsolete 18 pounder field gun, the 25 pounder field gun / howitzer, the 3 inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft gun, the 3.7 inch anti-aircraft gun, and the 17 pounder anti-tank gun.
		To test whether the Australian Cruiser could cope with the recoil one of the development vehicles, AC1 E2 was fitted with a 25 pounder field gun/howitzer in a new turret equipped with a redesigned overhead short recoil system.

		Mk III was in production by October 1941 and the IV by June 1942, and the Stafford plant at least built both concurrently.

		On Mks I and II a crescent-shaped pad was brought up against a disc on the clutch pad for clutch braking, while on Mks III and IV a fabric-faced disc was used.

	Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		The Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, or simply the Dreadnaught, was a capital ship built for planetary occupation and space combat used by the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, New Republic, and various other organizations and governments.
		The Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser was designed and developed by Rendili StarDrive for the Republic Judicial Forces at least 80 years prior to the Clone Wars and was based off a Mandalorian design, apparently by Rendili Star Systems.
		Many Dreadnaught cruisers were converted by the Alliance and later the New Republic into assault frigates, which were much less manpower-intensive than standard Dreadnaughts and carried a heavier armament.

	British Cruiser Tanks
		Thus they channeled their tank development in two directions: "infantry" tanks, having a top speed at about a doughboy's run, were to support infantry across no-man's land while "cruiser" tanks, like their naval brethren, were to engage and destroy other tanks (cruiser and infantry).
		British "cruiser" tanks tended to be far faster than their "infantry" counterparts and were usually heavy armored whenever possible, befitting the British design philosophy.
		The A15 Crusader evolved to replace the aging 1930's-era A9 Cruiser Tank Mk I as the primary medium tank of the British Army.

		It adopted, as well as that of its predecessor Cruiser Mk III, the Christie suspension which improved the poor off-road performance of the early Cruiser marks.
		Both Mk III and Mk IV were not a success as their armour was too light and the 2-pounder main gun inadequate.

		From the time they entered service in mid-1942, the Mark I and II tended to be outgunned by German tanks, but their ability to climb hills served them well in the closing phases of the North African campaign.
		Even this gun was barely adequate by 1943, when the Mark III entered service, so later versions of this model were fitted with a 75-millimetre gun.
		The Mark IV closely resembled the Mark III, but its turret was welded rather than cast.

	Centurion Tank, the backbone of Aussie armour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Centurion Mk 5/1 Main Battle Tanks were initially Mk III tanks which were later modified to Mk V/I and served in the Australian Army from 1952 until 1977.
		However, modifications to the original design were quickly made and the changes resulted in the adoption of a 20 pounder, fully stabilised, main gun and the replacement of the 20 mm cannon by a Besa mg (thus allowing the turret to be fully cast).
		An interesting conversion undertaken by the Armoured Centre, Puckapunyal was the Driver Training Tank, this was achieved by removing the turrets from conventional tanks and fitting a lightweight enclosed structure fitted with a number of seats for trainee drivers.

		Aboard the BELKNAPs, the Mk 42 gun was located on the quarterdeck while aboard the TRUXTUN that gun was located on the foredeck.
		Aboard the TRUXTUN the Mk 10 launcher was situated on the quarterdeck.
		Both classes were equipped with two Mk 10 launchers but the TRUXTUN as well as the BELKNAP-class which were built later only got one Mk 10 launcher and that means that they only had one depot for the missiles but these depots were 30% larger than the ones aboard the BAINBRIDGE and LEAHY-class cruisers.

		Between 1941 and 1943 a total of 5,300 Crusader tanks were produced, of which 144 were the more heavily armoured A.16 Crusader III version which is the subject of this model kit.

		The painting instructions show a Crusader III with full side skirts, but there are no parts in the kit which would allow the model to be built in this way.
