Tamiya 35045 British Quad Gun Tractor (1/35)

The Tamiya 35045 British Quad Gun Tractor in 1:35 scale is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit, designed for modellers wishing to expand their collection of World War II military vehicles. This kit depicts the famous British artillery tractor Morris C8 "Quad", which supported Allied guns at the most critical moments of the conflict, providing mobility for heavy field and anti-tank artillery on all fronts in Europe and North Africa.

Historical Context and Use

The British Quad Gun Tractor (Morris C8) was introduced into service before World War II and used until its end. The vehicle was manufactured by Morris Commercial, and its characteristic silhouette with a rounded roof was designed for transporting anti-tank guns (including the QF 25-pdr and QF 17-pdr), as well as for operation in harsh front-line conditions. These tractors took part in battles from the 1940 campaign in France, through the deserts of Africa, to the Western and Italian fronts. They served in the British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand armies.
