Green Light Tank, with antenna and a riveted effect. Diecast except for the chain track which was identical to that of the Medium Tank. 1937-1941.
Vickers Light Tank Mk VI
Based on the Vickers Light Tank Mk VI, this model was similar to its predecessors, with an expanded turret to accommodate a wireless comm system with a new engine that increased its top speed.
When rearmament proceeded in 1937, the Mk VI was the only tank ready for manufacturing. As a result, these tanks were the most common British tanks in the WW2, with over 1,000 available to the British army throughout its duration.
