One sprue to build an British Archer mobile anti-tank gun.
The 17 pdr was the most effective anti-tank weapon in the British arsenal during World War Two; but mounting a gun of this size proved challenging for design engineers. While their subsequent work would later lead to the development of the Sherman Firefly and the Challenger series of tanks, the Ministry of Supply commissioned Vickers in July 1942 to develop a self-propelled version of the 17 pdr using the chassis of the Valentine tank. The resulting vehicle, known as the Archer, was basically a Valentine chassis tank fitted with an open-topped superstructure mounted above the fighting compartment, much like the German Marder series of tank destroyers. The 17 pdr was then mounted in a unique way, pointing to the rear of the vehicle. Despite the size of the 17 pdr, the final design resulted in a relatively compact vehicle with a low profile.
In hard plastic it will require assembly using plastic cement.
