Tamiya 35044 Br.25PDR Gun Quad Tractor in 1:35 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit representing one of the most recognizable British artillery tractors used during World War II. This kit from the renowned Tamiya company faithfully reproduces the iconic Morris C8 "Quad" artillery tractor and the legendary Ordnance QF 25-pounder howitzer, which was the mainstay of the Royal Field Artillery's equipment.

Historical and Technical Information

The model depicts a vehicle that was part of the equipment of the British army and the armies of the Commonwealth, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India. The Morris C8 tractor with the 25 Pdr gun was intensively used from 1939 to 1945, during World War II, on every front of the conflict – from the deserts of North Africa to Western Europe and the Far East.

The Ordnance QF 25-pounder was regarded as one of the most effective field guns of World War II, symbolizing British artillery. The Quad, equipped with the gun, served both as a weapon hauler and for the transport of ammunition and artillery crew.
