Historical Background

The model represents the Ursus A – a licensed version of the Italian SPA 25C Polonia produced in Poland since 1928. This truck was widely used in the Polish Army as an artillery tractor, military transport vehicle, and, in this version, as a tank transporter for the Renault FT. Thanks to its specialized platforms and ramps, the Ursus A was able to transport light tanks, which was a logistical breakthrough for the Polish armored forces during the interwar period. These vehicles served with front-line and training units and took part in preparations for the defense in September 1939.
