Product Description
History Introduction:
The L3/35 was developed from imported British Carden-Lloyd Mark VIs (designated CV29 in Italian service, CV stood for Carro Veloce, "fast tank"). It was built as the CV-33 in 1933, but was retrofitted as the CV-35 in 1935 and renamed the L3/35 in 1938. The L3/35 was a lightly armored two-man vehicle typically armed with two tandem machine guns. The differences between the L3/33 and the L3/35 were not many. About 2500 L3 tankettes were built in different models and variants. The L3s tankettes were sold to Afghanistan, Albania, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Greece, Hungary, Iraq, and Nationalist Spain. Chinese Nationalist government imported a total of 94 CV35 for their 200th Armored Division to against the Japanese army invasion during W.W. II, one of this tankette is displaying in the Beijing Military Museum Now!
