Bronco CB35163 British Airborne 75mm Pack Howitzer 1/4 Ton Truck w/Trailer (1/35)

Bronco CB35163 British Airborne 75mm Pack Howitzer 1/4 Ton Truck w/Trailer in 1/35 scale is an advanced plastic model kit that perfectly captures the equipment used by British airborne forces during World War II. This set features a highly detailed 75mm M1A1 Pack Howitzer, the characteristic 1/4 ton truck, and a dedicated transport trailer, all used by the British Army to quickly deploy light artillery units with paratrooper and glider-borne divisions.

The model is based on equipment utilized in some of the most prestigious WWII operations, such as the Arnhem airdrop during Operation Market Garden in 1944, as well as the Normandy landings and actions in southern France. The modular design of the howitzer allowed for rapid disassembly and convenient transport in segments, which was crucial during paratroop drops and glider landings. To move artillery and ammunition, the British relied on the dependable Willys Jeep vehicles (1/4 ton), usually paired with a specially adapted trailer.

The Bronco CB35163 model is crafted from high-quality plastic (polystyrene), providing an excellent level of detail and durability in the finished model. The kit includes parts to build all three main components—howitzer, vehicle, and trailer—with faithfully recreated details such as weaponry, vehicle equipment, and small transport accessories. The manufacturer does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to choose their own according to personal preferences.
