Plastic Model Kit for a light czech tank
- incl. 1 decal
- Scale 1:72
- not built/painted
- color & glue not included
The light tank marked LTL-H or LTH was produced in Czechoslovakia by the ČKD company for the needs of the Swiss Army. The design was based on several parallel developed light tanks for Iran, Peru, Sweden and Lithuania. It was a very durable and simple structure created by the factory's design team under the leadership of chief designer Alexey Surin, which allowed relatively simple modification according to the needs of individual customers. The tanks differed in terms of armament, armor strength and the engine used. A total of 24 tanks powered by the Swedish licensed Scania-Vabis engine and armed with a 24 mm Swiss Panzerwagenkanone 1938 cannon and a pair of 7.5 mm machine guns were created for the needs of Switzerland. Development took place in the hectic pre-war period and the tanks were handed over only from January to April 1939, i.e. before and after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. Tanks in Switzerland served until the 1950s, and it is still possible to see a preserved mobile example of this advanced light tank for its time.
The 1/72 scale model of this tank was created using 3D design in metal form and the entire kit is tailored for easy quick assembly. The decals allow the assembly of several tanks with different camouflage from the 1940s, thanks to which they have a distinctive marking of neutral Switzerland.
