Model comes as 3 parts; Body & Tracks.
The Carden Loyd was a British pre-WWII tankette produced in various forms. The most successful was the MkVI. Some 450 were built by Vickers-Armstrong between 1927 and 1935.
It weighed 1.5 tons and had a crew of 2.
Poland used the Carden Loyd design to create their own TK tankettes after purchasing 10 from the UK. Czechoslovakia and Russia did the same, making their own versions. Similar developments occurred with Japan, Italy and Bolivia.
They were armed with a .303 Vickers machine gun.

These are very nice models indeed. I ordered 10 for a military train i am building to run on my Newcastle station layout. I was struggling to find accurate models of valentine tanks and especially Carden Lloyd carriers that were built at Vickers Elswick works in the city. A little clean up is necessary, but no more than any other model on the market. These come highly recommended in a market where obscure vehicles are required. I doubt I would find this vehicle in kit form in a larger scale let alone in 1/76. I have since ordered another 8. Pictures of the completed train to follow. Just need to complete it first.
Cheers Garry, keep up the good work.
