Landskip m/1929

The m/1929 was the first Norwegian attempt at making a domestically produced tank. Being the result of technicle research on the Vickers MK I. The m/1929 was given the name "Landskip" (Landship) after it's large size and early British tanks.

Large, slow and with only basic protection the m/1929 was a flop, but was despite of its mediocre at best tests it set into limited production by the Army. Serving primarily as propaganda tools until 1937 when the new and bolstered ranks of the Royal Cavalry Section had enough vehicles to create true tank formations. Doe to it's limited numbers and massive bulk compared to the light m/35, the "Landskip" was retrofitted with radios, maps and first aid kits in order to serve as command and control vehicles for the still inexperinced tank formations of the Royal Cavalry Section.
