1/35 SCALE MILITARY MODEL KITS
VICKERS MEDIUM TANK MK II
HB83880
The Medium Mark II,
derived from the Vickers Medium Mark I, was developed to replace the
last of the Medium Mark Cs still in use. Production and rebuilding ran
from 1925 until 1934. The tank was phased out of service from 1939,
replaced by the Cruiser Mk I. It featured several improvements over the
Vickers Mark I : a higher superstructure with the driver's vizor on top
of it instead of in front of it; an improved suspension protected by
armour skirts; and Rackham clutches, providing a primitive form of
mechanical servo-control. Due to a slightly higher weight its rated
speed was somewhat slower than that of the Medium Mark I, at 13 mph
compared to 15 mph.
