Responsibility details are not available.
A plastic kit in 1:35 scale from the Polish maker Mirage Hobby. The subject is the conceptual, prototype guise of the light tank Vickers-Armstrong in the wz. E version, completed with a turret corresponding to the 7TP tank with a 37 mm Bofors gun. It is a combination that came about during the development stage rather than a standard production machine. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
The light tank Vickers-Armstrong, also known as the Vickers 6-Ton, was a widespread export type in the interwar period and became the starting point for several derived designs. The Polish 7TP grew out of it and differed from the British pattern above all in its powerplant and in the single-turret guise with a 37 mm Bofors gun. The machine captured by this kit corresponds to a transitional, prototype configuration: a chassis and hull of British origin with a turret to the standard of the later Polish type. Its hallmarks are the leaf-spring suspension of the running gear, riveted joints and the low silhouette of the hull.
Assemble and paint the running gear before you close the hull up, because once it is glued you will not reach it. Seat the wheels and the rollers on a flat surface so that the model stands level once finished and the track sits properly. Fill and sand the seams on the hull before the primer goes on, and with riveted structures work carefully so that the rivets are not sanded away. Apply the base shade thinly and build up graded coats, otherwise a model in 1:35 scale looks flat. Bring out the engraving with a run-in wash and apply dust and mud to the running gear with pigments from the bottom up and with restraint. The gun and the vision ports show to advantage in a dark shade with a subtle emphasis of the edges.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
