Flames Of War | Hungarian | Toldi Tank | 15mm Metal / Resin Blister Pack

Toldi Light Tank (HU010)
includes one resin and metal Toldi II (20mm) or Toldi IIa (40mm) Light Tanks

The Toldi II tank is armed with a 20mm antitank rifle, but in 1944 units began to receive new 40mm armed Toldi IIa tanks with more hitting power and better armour.

The Toldi is an adaptation of the Swedish L-60 Landsverk light tank and was imported to Hungarian in 1937 by the MÁVAG Company with support from the Ministry of Defence. It was trialled against the Hungarian designed V-4 amphibious light tank built by the Manfred Weiss Company. In trials it proved itself better than the V-4, which had a number of teething problems. A number of design changes were sought by the Army Staff before the L-60 could be adopted for production. They recommended that the steering, transmission, vision, ventilation and suspension all be improved. The licences to produce the L-60 was purchased off Landsverk by MÁVAG and Ganz and the new tank was designated the 38M Toldi I light tank. The ministry of defence ordered 40 from each company and production began in 1939.
