This time, the Vickers Mk II* gets its chance to be on the workbench, care of Hobby Boss.
Following its recent Vickers Mk II release, Hobby Boss announces the Vickers Mark II*: Characteristics that make this variant different is the installation of a co-axial Vickers machine gun and the removal of the older Hotchkiss machine gun; another is the relocation of the commander's position in order to avoid the risk of being hit by spent shells ejected from the main gun. Fifty six units of the Vickers Mk II* were produced.

Kit #83880 is lined up for December 2016 release.

Cool! Ugly pre-war armour at its best, right up there with the T-35 multi-turret beast! It's really great that little-known footnotes in armour development are finally being offered. Reward the manufacturers' bravery by buying one.

Already bought the MK I, going to get 1 of each of the rest as they come out. Fantastic to see all the new releases by all the manufacturers, but Hobby Boss really has to be my favorite, they really have chosen a lot of interesting subjects!
