My painting pile is currently mainly composed of British Airborne. I got these 2 x 3d printed tetrarchs for Xmas & fairly quickly got them painted. I think they've turned out quite well. Only several companies of Red Devils to go. url=https://postimg.cc/LnhHfjVB] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/vcDQ95vr] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/HVjp5bt0] ‌

I have a set of three in my pile that I plan on finishing this year.

OK Bob – sarcasm noted & acknowledged. I wanted to give my (future) Airborne Brigade a bit of punch. It will have 2 ATGs & a lot of piats but against significant German armour this won't be enough: shades of Arnhem! However, I think these cute, little tanks will have little or no impact in any game. Still, they look nice….

Actually, I thought I owned one once. A friend decided to exit 1/72nd gaming and gave me a bunch of stuff, including WWII armor galore. I was sorting through it and came across a tank I couldn't identify. I wondered if it was a Tetrach, but nope. Very puzzling. Then I noticed a large number of road wheels on the thing. It was a 15mm scale KV series.

I think the US airborne had their own "flying" tank: a Locust. My understanding is that it (like the Tetrarch) was not wildly successful. I daresay you could proxy a 15mm tank for either in a 20mm game.

"My understanding is that it (like the Tetrarch) was not wildly successful" If you are fighting infantry, any tank is better than no tank.
