New Light Tanks!

Two more, very neat 1:55th-scale models are now available:

K57 LK. II (Leichter Kampfwagen II)

Leichter Kampfwagen II

A German light tank just about to go into production at the end of WWI. Although the end of the war meant that it never went into full production. Parts for ten tanks disguised as agricultural equipment were smuggled into Sweden, where it was known as the Stridsvagn m/21. Another twelve probably found their way to Hungary.

K58 T1E2 Light Tank

T1E2 Light Tank

A U.S. light tank from 1929 - I don't have much information on this prototype (?) tank, but it does look cool and cranky.

Don't forget the rest of our 1:55th vehicles:

K48  Vickers Mk.II 
K50 Vickers Medium MK. III
K51 Vickers Independent Heavy Tank
K52 Lancia 1ZM Armoured Car
K53 Mgebrov Single-Turret Armoured Car
K54 Mgebrov Twin-Turret Armoured Car
K55 Garford-Putilov Heavy Armoured Car
K56 Putilov Half-Track Armoured Car (aka Austin-Kegresse)

At the moment, you can find them split between the Back of Beyond and the High Adventure ranges - though perhaps I should set up a new page for them.
