REP-01 – T-26 Model 1935, Republican Light Tank (2 pcs) | John Jenkins Designs
The T-26 became one of the most important tanks used by Republican forces during the Spanish Civil War.
REP-01 – T-26 Model 1935 represents the Soviet-designed light tank supplied to the Spanish Republic as international involvement deepened during the conflict.
Derived from the British Vickers 6-Ton design, the T-26 combined relatively light armour with a turret-mounted 45mm gun, giving it considerable firepower compared with many of the early Nationalist armoured vehicles it encountered.
Its battlefield effectiveness still depended heavily upon crew training, coordination and the tactical situation, and like most light tanks of the period it remained vulnerable to anti-tank weapons and artillery.
As a vehicle, REP-01 makes a strong centrepiece for a Spanish Civil War display, particularly alongside Republican infantry and a tank commander.
Available from The Military Workshop – an impressive John Jenkins Designs T-26 representing one of the most recognisable armoured vehicles of the Spanish Republic.
