Product Description

- Fully recreated scenes from the North African front
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of a British 25-pounder gun and the tractor that towed it, which was used in World War II.

[About the actual car]
- One of the field guns used by the British in World War II was the 25-pounder.
- Developed in the 1930s before World War II, it was deployed not only in the UK but also in Commonwealth countries during World War II.
- In the North African campaign, it proved effective against German tanks, demonstrating its excellence as an anti-tank gun.
- A Morris Quad tractor was used as a towing vehicle for transportation, and the 25-pounder gun and ammunition car were attached. The combination with the 25-pounder gun demonstrated high mobility.
- The Morris Quad Tractor, also known as the Morris Commercial C8 Field Artillery Tractor (FAT), was produced from 1939 to 1945.
- The car was equipped with a 3.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine, a four-wheel drive system, and a unique body design with a combination of flat surfaces and a sloping surface.
- By 1945, a total of about 10,000 units were produced, and they were widely used alongside the 25-pounder gun.

[About the model]
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that recreates the combination of a 25-pounder field gun used by the British Army in World War II and the Morris Quad tractor that towed it.
- The 25-pounder gun is faithfully reproduced in detail, including the barrel, gun carriage, bulletproof plates, and wheels.
- The gun can be assembled in either deployed or towed position.
- In addition, the limber that stores the shells is also modeled.
- Also included are six British artillery pieces ready to fire.
- I'm looking forward to creating a scene of the North African front where the 25-pounder gun was used in full force, with soldiers in shorts and bare chested.
- The Morris Quad, which is paired with the car as a towing vehicle, accurately reproduces its unique body style and chassis, which features a ladder frame, front and rear leaf springs, and four-wheel drive layout.
- The interior is also full of atmosphere, including the driver's seat, and the seating layout with four seats in the rear and two seats in the front.
- The engine is also recreated.
- The Morris Quad, a famous combination with the 25-pounder gun, which is said to be a masterpiece, is a kit that is well worth building.
