  The 7TP
Most writings simply state "the 7TP" and that designation is used most often to refer to the single turret (7TPjw) model.
Some sources state that the VAU-33 was a prototype of 7TP and was a modification of the Vickers Mark E with a Swiss diesel engine Saurer VBLDb.
Poland's 7TP was the first step in an uncompleted process (interrupted by WW2) of gaining engineering and industrial ability needed to produce a truly Polish Tank.

  7TP   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The main new features of 7TP were: better, more reliable and powerful diesel engine, very good 37 mm anti-tank gun and a bit thicker armour (in front, 17 mm instead of 13 mm), together with many minor modifications and additions (like Gundlach tank periscope, different air conditioning system and a radio).
All 7TP tanks took part in combat in the Polish September Campaign in 1939, used in two light tank battalions (the 1st and the 2nd) and in Warsaw Defence units.
Apart from the 7TP, the Polish Army used Vickers 6-Ton tanks and TK-3 and TKS tankettes.

According to the blurb on the instructions, the 7TP was designed in 1933 originally based on the twin-turreted Vickers.
Static balance wasn’t all that good, so a balancing recess was placed on the rear of the turret which included all the communications equipment.
At the outbreak of war in September 1939, the 7TP was pitted against the might of the German Panzers, and against the PZKPFW I’s and II’s it was found to be a fairly capable match.

 Kit Review: RPM Czolg Lekki T-26B   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Counting all of the versions and models made by the Soviets and the British, the Christie design was parent to over 100,000 tanks and armored chassis during the Second World War -- the Covenanter, Crusader, Cromwell, the entire BT tank series, and the T-34.
While the 7TP and the T-26 were both sired by the Six-Tonner, there are a lot of detail differences which just slapping a new turret on the older kit will not cure.
However, the part included for the engine grille is the winterization hatch used in Finland in 1940 after the early model tanks suffered snow blockage of their radiator intakes and overheated.

 Vickers E / 7TP Tank Variants Review by Brett Green (Mirage Hobby 1/72)
The Polish 7TP was based on the British Vickers E design.
The initial 7TP tanks shared the twin-turret design of the original Vickers E Mk.A, but improvements were introduced in 1937 and 1938, including the replacement of the twin machine gun turrets with a single turret.
These 7TP / Vickers E derivatives will be of interest to small scale modelers and wargamers.
