Although these Vickers Light tanks by IMA are not new releases we haven’t covered them before on Armorama.

International Models Asia is a Hong Kong based company that specialise in British Tanks, not covered by the Major Plastic Model Companies, such as the Churchill and the Vickers.

These are complete kits by IMA and come as hollow casting in light grey resin. From the accompanying photos the castings look very crisp.
Although we have had some Allied kits in plastic this year that we never thought we’d see I’ll go out on a limb here and say that it’ll be a long time before the big model companies get around to making kits of these little tanks (Famous last words?) If you’re tired of Shermans, panzers, Panthers and Tigers these may offer you a challenge.
