Faithful reproduction of the original

The M22 Locust tank, designated as T9E1 during its development, was designed in the United States to support the US Army’s airborne units. This vehicle was intended to be dropped from transport aircraft, allowing for rapid reinforcement of troops landing behind enemy lines. It first saw combat near the end of World War II, notably during Operation Varsity in March 1945.

Due to its compact size and light armor, the M22 Locust was mainly used by American airborne forces and the British 6th Airborne Division. This tank is a symbol of the airborne operations of the closing stages of World War II.
