Vickers Mk.VI

Name Vickers Light Tank Mk. VI A/B/C (Item No. JB 1009)

Producer JB Models, U.K.

Packing Carton box with color picture on the top

Type of kit plastic kit

Quality The all parts are well detailed and made in high quality with not flash and any other visible defects. The biggest positive of this kit is that there are parts necessary for all three versions (A, B, and C) in the box. The negatives are relatively thick parts and the hatches moulded as closed. Few very fine details are not included and have to be scratchbuilt.

Instruction sheet informative instruction sheet, marking and camouflages included

Decals for three versions, one from exercise 1938 and two BEF 1940

General Impression & Note The light tank Vickers Mk. VI served in BEF in France as well as in North Africa, Greece and on Crete and Malta. Well known are many reference pictures from North Africa. Very interesting is the ”brick” camouflage used on tanks version C served on Malta. Very interesting idea for conversion is antiaircraft version with four Besa machine guns in the turrets. This rare modification called ”Ack-Ack Tank” served also in North Africa. I’m not sure but think that there is available conversion set for the modification described below on the market. I‘m keen on North African campaign so this kit is real jewel for me! J
