I got Tamiya’s Cromwell cheep and so far couldn’t be happier with the kit, but my google searches have turned up very few pictures of those tanks during WWII. Does anyone have online references they can share?
Thanks in advance,

Update - I think those Canadian 4th Division Cromwells are actually with the 10th Polish Mounted Rifle Regiment, Polish 1st Armoured Division.
FYI - that's General Maczek's Cromwell. Polish 1st Armoured Division
The only Canadian unit that may have used the Cromwell was the Armoured Recce Regiment of the 6th Airborne Division.
