If you look up the Cromwell tank in Wikipedia, thee is quite a lot of data there.

There's a useful article on the Crusader, including vital statistics, to be had here:
https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/C ... usader.php
It was slightly shorter than the Cromwell, which in turn was slightly shorter than the Comet- both of which I have built.
Like many British WW2 tanks, the Crusader had some useful innovative features, but didn't get the developmental support it needed. It was fast, had a very low silhouette (unlike 88 magnets such as the Sherman), had sloped armour and was very manoeuvrable. But: it had a crappy engine and transmission, and given the exigencies of the War, was never vouchsafed the time needed to iron out all of its
faults. Shame :|
