7TP
The 7TP tank was developed from the British Vickers-Armstrong Mark E and of which in 1931, Poland purchased 50 examples. The Polish military powers wanted to improve on the Mark E. It featured a better diesel engine, and a little thicker armor. Including the 4 iron prototypes 136 7TP's were made. Most were single turret versions however 24 were of the early twin turret type.
Armament: two 7.92mm wz.30 TMG's in twin turret variant
This kit depicts a Polish tank of the 1930's that uses a chassis from the British Vickers-Armstrong designed 6ton Tank Mark E and incorperates two turrets on top of the hull. This model from Mirage is a very crude and simple affair, far from "shake and bake". What can I say, I like a challenge. This will be built mainly straight out of the box with a few kit-bashing upgrades and the use of some extra photo-etch I have left over from when I built my Zveda T-26 (which is very similar to the Polish 7TP tank) earlier this past year. |
