Operation Compass, Set 1
Our first batch of markings for Operation Compass concentrates on the tanks in use at the time. Though the general theme is Compass, these markings were in use from the summer of 1940 to the Spring of 1941, when Rommel's first attack with the Afrikakorps took place.
Within this set there are markings for: 5 x Cruiser Mk IV A, 3 x Cruiser Mk I (A9), 2 x Cruiser Mk II (A10), 10 x Matilda Mk II, 2 x Morris 15-cwt (including 1 2-pdr portee), 1 x M13/40 in Australian markings.
The last item, the M13/40 was captured in number during the campaign and adopted by the Australian Cavalry as a temporary mount. The Kangaroo motif was used for identification and painted on each face of the hull and turret.
Price: £6.95
