New!

In 1940, this small but well armoured tank was pretty much all that stood between the German Blitzkrieg and a battered British Army that was retreating to the coast.

 Here. This tank appeals to me. I remember a picture of it in Purnell's in the 70s but I wasn't able to put one on the table not like now as there are plenty of resin models to choose from. Anyone have any favourite models? Early war miniatures do a nice one (see pic).

I just discovered Airfix did one in 1998
