28 mm Vickers 6 Ton






This is another one of the Aylafred cheap generic resin tanks off eBay.

This one is loosely based on a Vickers 6 ton. This was the most successful interwar tank, used by almost everyone except the British Army. I have cut down the turret and put in a short gun from my kit's box.

It is painted as one of the export 'Dutch' tanks due to be shipped out to the dutch Pacific colonies.

The logo is the flag of the Blackshirts, Mosley's British Union of Fascists. More about them in a later post.

'Hurrah for the Blackshirts' - as the pro-Nazi Daily Mail put it.

  2. Very nice! I keep tabs on the guy but he has not done another run of tanks, I was thinking of snagging one of those smaller transports that towed artillery for my French....

  3. Once again a nice model and I really like this camo scheme. Glad to see that the Daily Mail hasn't changed its stance over the years;)

    1. The good old Daily Mail. Their owner used to write letters of congratulation to Hitler starting with Dear Fuhrer....
