Re-issue of the British 6-pounder. The gun was used during WWII, having been developed in haste as war first broke out. Despite this lack of time on the drawing board, it proved a favorite among its crews on the battlefield, thanks to a simple yet reliable design. The L/57 gun had a range of 5,000 meters and could get off 20 rounds a minute, with a muzzle velocity of 815m/s; this was enough to take out even heavily armored Tiger Is. The piece was often towed by the famed universal carrier. This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. The 6-pounder form is efficiently and accurately captured. Features elevation and traverse movement after completion. Carriage can be depicted with trail legs open or closed. Includes 3 figures in firing pose for even greater realism.
