Rob,

If you choose to copy the Vickers shown in the picture, you will be building a replica of the Model 1936 "Dutchman" as built for and used by the Netherlands East Indies Army. An excellent choice, as these saw combat in 1941 and some of them were later captured by the Japanese.

You are lucky there is one survivor, which is located in the Tank Museum at Bovington. See forum member Dennis Trowbridge's walkaround photos for much needed detail close ups.

Regards,
Hanno
