About M22 Locust
Bring a distinctive piece of military history to your collection with the M22 Locust construction-brick model. Designed around the compact proportions of the American airborne light tank, this set captures the vehicle’s instantly recognizable profile in a format that is approachable to build, enjoyable to display, and easy to place within a broader armored-vehicle lineup. With 393 pieces, the model offers a satisfying building experience without becoming overwhelming. Its small footprint makes it especially suitable for desks, shelves, dioramas, and compact display scenes, while the carefully balanced hull and turret proportions give the finished vehicle a confident presence. The result is an engaging project for younger builders and a rewarding addition for collectors who appreciate unusual military designs. The M22 Locust’s character comes from its purposeful simplicity: a compact hull, a neatly integrated turret, and a silhouette developed with airborne deployment in mind. This construction model translates those defining features into a clean brick-built form, allowing the vehicle’s shape to remain the focus. It can stand on its own as a display piece or complement larger tanks, transport vehicles, and historical-themed collections. Suitable for builders aged 6 and up, the set combines creative play with an introduction to a lesser-known armored vehicle from the Second World War era. Whether purchased as a thoughtful gift, a first military model, or an addition to a growing collection, the M22 Locust delivers accessible building fun and a distinctive finished display piece.
Historical Background
The M22 Locust was an American light tank developed during the Second World War for airborne forces. Its compact size and relatively light weight were intended to make it suitable for transport by glider, supporting airborne troops with mobile armored protection and firepower after landing. Designed by the Marmon-Herrington company, the vehicle was designated the M22 by the United States. Britain received examples under the name Locust, which became the designation most commonly associated with the tank. Its layout reflected the practical demands of airborne deployment, resulting in a notably compact hull and small turret. The M22 arrived late in the war and was produced in limited numbers. It saw service primarily with British airborne units, including use during the final campaigns in Europe. Although it was not a mass-deployed tank, the Locust remains an interesting example of the specialized vehicles created to support airborne operations.
