1/72 Hispano Suiza MC-36 (Boxed Set)
(20GEV008)

1 high quality resin model kit consisting of 17 parts --four of which are an optional T-26 turret along with separate hatchets and brass gun barrel. Also, set includes two different windshield options --either open or closed. Set in complimented by a decals sheet with markings for different vehicles of both SCW sides.

These huge beasts were built on Hispano Suiza T-69 heavy truck chassis --this is why they're sometimes also called T-69.

Hispano Suiza MC-36 was created for being a competitor to Bilbao Armoured Car for equipping the Security Forces of the Spanish Republic. Although finally lost the contest in favour of the cheaper Bilbaos, Hispano-Suizas didn't resign to lose their chance and saw action in Republican hands –in numbers of 5 to 15 vehicles, depending on sources.

Some were captured by the Nationalists, and at least one of these experienced some weaponry improvement thanks to a cannibalized T-26 tank.
