	Crusader
		Although the Crusader self-propelled howitzer (SPH) may outwardly resemble a tank, it is not and has a drastically different battlefield role.
		A tank is a front line, close combat weapon whose main armament operates on a direct fire principle (i.e., a direct line of sight is obtained to the target and used to orient the weapon).
		The Crusader SPH operates on the artillery principle of indirect fire (i.e., a direct line of sight is not used to orient the weapon), although direct fire can be employed if the situation dictates.

		The tank is a Crusader, probably a Mark II and the implication seems to be that it is helping with the harvest.

		The Crusader tank was deemed obsolete fairly early in the war and a number of surviving hulls were converted into anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) escort tanks armed with a pair of 20mm guns to provide cover to British armor from Luftwaffe strafers.
		The conversion mainly involved the replacement of the tank's turret with a new armored turret whose operator was still required to be exposed to aim the guns.
		While Italeri has previously released the Crusader tank in this scale, I believe this is the first offering in styrene of the Crusader AA tank.
