Mirage 72603 1/72 Tank Vickers E MK.A Twin Turret

The Polish 7TP was based on the British Vickers E design. The initial 7TP tanks shared the twin-turret design of the original Vickers E Mk.A, but improvements were introduced in 1937 and 1938, including the replacement of the twin machine gun turrets with a single turret. This new turret was fitted with a 37mm Bofors Anti-Tank gun.

Mirage Hobby has produced four separate versions of the vehicle by offering different parts for the engine deck, superstructure and turrets. The core parts, including the running gear, tracks and lower hull, are common to all four models.

Three versions possible

• Vickers-Armstrong E Mk.A light Tank; First Batch imported to Poland, spring 1933.
• Vickers E Mk.A Light Tank; No.1358 Victory Parade, Warsaw - Mokotów 1935.
• Vickers E Mk.A (VAU-33) Light Tank; 10th (motorised) Cavalry Brigade, Vickers Company, Zaolzie, Karwina 10 October 1938.
