Vickers 6-ton
(FI002)
includes one Vickers 6-ton Light tank & one Tank Commander figure.
The Vickers 6-ton tank was originally designed as a private venture by John Carden and Vivian Loyd for the famed British company Vickers Armstrong Ltd. However, the design was not adopted by the British Army; instead it was made available to foreign armed forces during the inter-war years.
The Finns ordered 32 Vickers 6-ton tanks in 1936 without any manner of armament. These tanks were to be fitted with a 37mm Bofors gun and a 7.62mm co-ax machine-gun upon delivery. They were also fitted with a rather unique interpretation of a hull machine-gun consisting of a modified version of the Suomi M/31A submachine-gun. This weapon could be fired from within the vehicle or if required removed by the crew and used in the more traditional role.
During the Winter War only the Finnish 4th Tank Company saw action with their Vickers 6-ton tanks.
