Hobby Boss 83879 Vickers Medium Tank MK II 1/35 – Plastic Model Tank Kit

Hobby Boss 83879 Vickers Medium Tank MK II in 1/35 scale is a faithful replica of one of the most important British tanks of the interwar period, whose design was based on the earlier Medium Mark I. This model represents the advanced technical solutions of its time, offering modelers the opportunity to explore a construction predating World War II. This tank mainly served in the British Army, where it replaced the outdated Medium Mk C vehicles, and its production and modernization lasted from 1925 to 1934.

The Vickers Medium Tank Mk II was distinguished by a raised superstructure, with the driver's visor located at its top, which improved visibility while driving. Another innovation was the improved suspension system, additionally protected by steel skirts, and the use of Rackham-type clutches, which were a prototype of mechanical power steering. Due to its higher weight, its speed was slightly lower than its predecessor – 13 miles per hour compared to the 15 mph of the Medium Mark I.
