Accurate representation of a historical vehicle

The 43M Toldi III is a light tank designed and used by the Hungarian military during World War II in the years 1944–1945. Named after the Hungarian national hero Miklós Toldi, this tank was developed as a modernization of the earlier Toldi I and II versions. The main feature of the Mark III version was improved armor protection and the use of a 40 mm (L/51) cannon, which made it better suited for fighting contemporary Soviet armored vehicles. These tanks took part in combat on the Eastern Front, mainly during the retreat of Hungarian forces in late 1944 and 1945, a period of intense action during the Soviet Red Army’s offensive.
