Used in Operation Ironclad (the amphibious invasion of Madagascar) in 1942, the Tetrarch would later go on to play a vital role in the Airborne operations during the invasion of Normandy, adding much-needed fire support and mobility to the British airborne forces.
 
They were packed into Hamilcar gliders for the flight across the channel and deployed upon landing using a system of pulleys that opened the front of the glider as it moved forward.
 
The Tetrarch was also sent to the USSR as part of the lend-lease programme.
 
Our Tetrarch comes with three separate barrels allowing you to make the following variants:
Tetrarch ICS tank with 3" howitzer
Tetrach with 2 pounder gun
Tetrarch with 2 pounder gun fitted with Littlejohn adaptor (giving the humble 2 pounder a greater punch!).
 
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
