- This is a main battle tank that was independently improved by Poland, which obtained the license to produce the Vickers 6t tank in 1931.
- The engine was changed from an air-cooled horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine to a liquid-cooled upright 6-cylinder engine, making the engine room larger, including the radiator space, and now at the same height as the fighting room.
- The armor thickness has been strengthened and the suspension has also been strengthened accordingly.
- Production began in 1934, but initially a twin turret type with two machine gun turrets was produced like the Vickers 6T, and from 1937 a single turret type equipped with a vehicle-mounted Bofors 37mm gun was produced.
- By the 1939 campaign, about 100 7TP single turret types were produced and served as the most powerful main battle tank.
- The early production model had a large grille on the rear hatch, the same as the 2-turret type, and the exhaust pipe was on the bottom.
