The CS version, in addition to its main armament—a short-barreled 94mm howitzer—was also equipped with additional machine guns to support friendly infantry and engage unarmored targets. These tanks were widely used in the early campaigns of World War II, including operations in France in 1940 and North Africa, where British units faced the German Afrika Korps.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: \u003cstrong\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: \u003cstrong\u003eWorld War II, 1939-1942\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic (polystyrene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKit does not include glue or paints – to be purchased separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the IBG WAW 012 kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The A9 CS model stands out for its excellent detailing of the hull, turret, and tracks.
