The Story
After a personal request from Churchill to Roosevelt a number of Coyote light walkers were shipped to the United Kingdom in late 1946.Many were immediately deployed to the frontlines unmodified as the Guardian Mark I. While generally proving successful, reports from the field concluded that the Guardian's armament was lacking for its intended role as an infantry support vehicle. To address this a flamethrower was mounted in the walker’s left arm. Despite the added weight, performance was not affected. Named the Guardian Mark II in Commonwealth service, these machines serve alongside unmodified Guardian Mark Is, forming the bulk of the Commonwealth’s light walker forces.
Contains one resin and metal miniature.
