Beautiful Paint job 👍

Looks great. Was the Vickers an inter-war tank? Ie pre 1939?

Yes. Years of service of Vickers Medium Tank MK II were 1925 - 1939

Thanks for reply. You can really see where they got the inspiration for The Lee and the Grant and even the Stuart from this. By the way I love the small rear firing cannon/machine guns on the rear sides.

Actually they look like Vickers MGs. Which would make sense it being a Vickers tank ! 🙂
I am currently trying to get kits of the tanks my grandfather drove in North Africa from 1941 onwards. He was in 10th royal hussars which was part of 2nd arm brig, 1st arm div. He drove Crusaders and Shermans for sure (in North Africa and then Italy so he may even have worked with Cromwell?) but if I can't find any kits with the right markings I'm hoping I'll be able to find specialist decal makers or even stencil some.
I'm having to work my way up though because you have more skill in your fingernails than I do in my whole body 🙂
But eventually I hope to do his memory justice when I build a tribute to him with his cap badges and medals attached.
Regards

Well deserved medal.

While many sources say the Medium Mk II was never used in combat, there is some film of the tropical variant in combat in the documentary "Wavell's 30,000". This is a really beautiful build of an interesting subject; well deserved medal!
