Takom 2116 BRITISH MEDIUM TANK M3 GRANT CDL 1/35 – plastic model kit

Takom 2116 BRITISH MEDIUM TANK M3 GRANT CDL in 1/35 scale is a unique kit for enthusiasts of historical modelling and armoured vehicles. The model represents one of the lesser-known yet highly unique versions of the British medium tank M3 Grant, known as the CDL. The abbreviation CDL (Canal Defence Light) referred to the installation of a special arc lamp on the turret, used to illuminate battlefields and disorient the enemy during night combat.

The M3 Grant tank was used by the British Army during World War II. It was developed through British-American cooperation, and the CDL variant was mainly employed in night operations, such as river crossings and assaults on heavily fortified positions between 1942 and 1945. The M3 Grant CDL played an important role during the crossing of the Rhine and other Western Front operations in the final phase of the war, although due to the secrecy of the project, it remained virtually unknown to a wide audience of historians and modelers for many years.
