This weird SCW tankette was improvised at Mercier workshops in Zaragoza, on the basis of armoring a Caterpillar tractor and arming it with a pair of Hotchkiss machine guns; so it can be considered a «tracked tiznao».

Also known as «Aragon tank», only one of these was ever produced, which apparently took part in the fightings for Sigüenza town.

Model itself consists of three resin parts comprising main hull and both tracks, complemented by two hard plastic MGs. It can be found on Minairons’ website.

An 1:35 scale version of this beautiful model is available too, under ResinLab brand.

Cheers,
