This model represents the advanced technical solutions of its time, offering modelers the opportunity to explore a construction predating World War II. This tank mainly served in the British Army, where it replaced the outdated Medium Mk C vehicles, and its production and modernization lasted from 1925 to 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Vickers Medium Tank Mk II was distinguished by a raised superstructure, with the driver's visor located at its top, which improved visibility while driving. Another innovation was the improved suspension system, additionally protected by steel skirts, and the use of Rackham-type clutches, which were a prototype of mechanical power steering. Due to its higher weight, its speed was slightly lower than its predecessor – 13 miles per hour compared to the 15 mph of the Medium Mark I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35 – ideal for dioramas and collectible armored vehicle models\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: from the late 1920s to the beginning of World War II, mainly the interwar period\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit includes over 740 parts on 13 sprues, as well as the hull and turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes one photo-etched detail sheet for improved model fidelity\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe finished model is 154 mm long and 79 mm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDoes not include resin or metal parts, which simplifies the building process\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduct category: plastic model kit – tank model\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Hobby Boss 83879 Vickers Medium Tank MK II model is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers interested in British armored vehicles and in building precise models of historical interwar vehicles.
