• 1/72 scale British Light Tank Mk.VIB plastic model kit by S-Model (Kit No. PS720019)
• Includes 2 complete quick-build tank kits per box, ideal for building a pair of British light tanks
• Represents the Light Tank Mk.VIB, one of the most widely produced British light tanks of the late 1930s and early World War II
• Developed by Vickers-Armstrongs as part of the British Light Tank Mk.VI family
• Designed primarily for reconnaissance, scouting, screening and light cavalry support operations
• The Mk.VIB was an important vehicle in British armoured formations during the early stages of WWII
• Features the distinctive compact hull, small turret and characteristic British interwar light tank silhouette
• Armed with a .50-inch Vickers heavy machine gun and a .303-inch Vickers machine gun mounted in the turret
• Designed for mobility and reconnaissance rather than direct combat against heavily armoured enemy tanks
• Powered by a Meadows six-cylinder petrol engine, providing approximately 88 horsepower
• The original vehicle weighed approximately 5 tonnes, depending on equipment and configuration
• Capable of reaching road speeds of approximately 56 km/h, making it relatively mobile for its era
• Operated by a three-man crew, consisting of a commander, gunner and driver
• Protected by relatively thin armour, reflecting its intended reconnaissance role
• The Light Tank Mk.VIB served with the British Army during the early years of World War II
• Saw extensive service during the Battle of France in 1940, including operations with the British Expeditionary Force
• Also used during the North African Campaign, where British light tanks performed reconnaissance and security duties
• The Mk.VI family represented an important stage in the development of British mechanised cavalry and armoured reconnaissance doctrine
• Although increasingly vulnerable to modern anti-tank weapons, these light tanks remained useful for scouting and support tasks
• The vehicle's small size and distinctive appearance make it an interesting subject for early-war British armour collections
• Quick-build design offers a simpler assembly experience compared with more complex multi-part model kits
• Two tanks included, making this set particularly suitable for small armoured units, tabletop displays and dioramas
• 1/72 scale provides a compact display size and is ideal for combining with other small-scale military vehicles and figures
• Excellent for collectors of WWII British tanks, Vickers light tanks, early-war armour and military reconnaissance vehicles
• Suitable for 1940 Battle of France, British Expeditionary Force and North African Campaign dioramas
• Excellent companion to Matilda I, Matilda II, Cruiser Mk.I, Cruiser Mk.II and other early WWII British armoured vehicles
• Offers opportunities for historically inspired British Army green camouflage and early-war desert colour schemes, depending on the chosen unit and campaign
• Ideal for realistic dust accumulation, mud splashes, track wear, subtle paint fading and battlefield weathering
• The two-kit format allows modellers to create matching vehicles, alternative camouflage finishes or a small reconnaissance patrol
• Particularly appealing to 1/72 scale military modellers, wargaming enthusiasts and British armour collectors
