I bought this mostly tin replica---manufacturer unknown----on eBay and have redone it in Polish three-tone camouflage, circa September 1939. The Poles had about 135 of these Vickers-based machines, many sporting a 47mm canon in a single turret, and they reportedly gave as good as they got in battles with German armor. Interestingly, the tanks bore virtually no markings---these were hastily painted over to deny the Germans information about what units they were encountering in battle. Here's a picture of my 7TP:

I have the 7-TP and the Polish TANKETTE, BUT they are in 1:35 scale. I find the Polish campaign to be an interesting subject that is quite often overlooked. Hell, I even made a nice squad of 1:32 polish infantry and artillery. If only I knew how to share my photos.

That is an interesting tank there Ed.
And made out of tin? Very old school.
