Very nice 8)

I can see the Kingston TA needing a few of these to keep the BUF in check!

My French backed forces wouldn't say no either ;)

Some damn fine vehicles for interwar period just flooding in!

Thanks guys, but it has made a bit of an arms race! :o

Very cool. Was the Mk II used in the SCW by chance?   8)

Not that I know of, unless someone else has better info?  There is a kind of urban myth that one of the Vickers 6 tonners was sent to Spain via Bolivia, but there seem to be counter arguments on that.

...are these 3d printed?

Nope, all done by hand with plasticard!   :D  The chap who's done these is Tony Ashcroft, who mainly works in 28mm for JTFM.

EDIT: It's JTFM he does work for.

Very nice.

All we need to have now is to have the

- Carden Lloyd MG Carrier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carden_Loyd_tankette

(could do double duty as RussianT-27, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-27 )

- Early Mark Vickers light with a 1 man turret.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Tanks_of_the_UK

Then you will have the entier British Armour park for the 1930's (VBCW/Sealion) covered as well as Vickers main export verhicles used elsewhere in those littel wars elsewhere.

'fraid not.

The Mk III only a few (3?) built as well as 3 16 tonners (very simmilar)

Only the British and British Empire forces used the Mk IIs. India certainly recived some (single figures). One or two may have reached Canada and Australia for trianing purposes.

Think it's actually JTFM

We'll definitely be looking at some more stuff, but with these inter/early items, it's not as easy to recoup the costs.  These two Vickers will have to sell in the 100's to generate any profit!   :o

Yep, I've just amended that!

MORE POSTWAR STUFF _ NOW!!!!!! :D

Tell you what, I'll put the 'Tarleton Brigade', the 'Aztec Army', and you in a room, and whoever's left standing gets their request granted.  How's that?!   :D

On a serious note, we're sending some M113's off for conversion work, and there has been mention of the Centurion.

The Centurion would be very useful as it was 'used' at the end of WWII in Germany, plus essential kit for Korea.

No not the SCW but the chassis did form the basis for the Vickers Medium Mk C



which was an export model for Japan, which formed the basis for the Japanese Type 89 I-Go



which fought in China, Manchuria and early war actions against the USSR. It lasted right through the war but later as just static defence positions.

Talking of tanks sent overseas for training purposes reminded me of the old Centurion 169041 http://www.australian-armour.com/ARMOUR-Sep-2007.pdf
