Mirage Hobby 1/72 Command Tank Grant Mk I w/ 'Monty' figure (728005)

General Bernard Montgomery famously used a Grant tank as his command vehicle during the Western Desert campaign, a choice that reflected both the type's spacious interior — useful for a commander who needed room for maps and radio equipment — and his preference for commanding as close to the front as operational necessity permitted. The Grant Mk I command tank variant typically had one or more guns removed to create additional working space, and Monty's vehicle became one of the most recognisable command tanks of the Second World War. Mirage Hobby's 1/72 kit pairs the Grant command tank with a figure representing Montgomery himself, making this a natural centrepiece for any North African diorama and a fitting tribute to one of the war's most studied and debated commanders.
