Description

      Gecko 1/35 Scale Cruiser Tank Mk. IIACS, A10Mk. IA CS - Plastic Model Building Kit # 35GM0001

      To meet the requirement of modern tank concepts, in 1936 the British War Office designated two different categories of tanks for future development. The first category was a fast mobile cruiser tank designed not only to perform reconnaissance and patrol tasks, but also capable of making forays deep into enemy territory. The second category was armoured infantry tanks designed to be used in close co-operation with infantry during attacks.

      The Cruiser MK. I code A9 tank was the first ever built cruiser tank in the United Kingdom. But while the A9 was still a prototype type in 1934, the British War Office had requested the production firm, the Vickers Armstrong Limited, to develop a more heavily armoured vehicle for better infantry supportrole. On September 1937, a soft steel prototype Tank Cruiser MK. II, code A10 was produced. This kit represents the Cruiser MK. IIA CS (A10 MK. IA CS) specification, a CS (Close Support) version that had a 3.7 inches (94 mm) howitzer in the turret assigned for infantry support role.
