Gun Tractor.....25Pounder

Hello there!
Im a 'newbie' so here goes, I'm aware that the 'standard' Gun tractor used to tow the 25 pounder was the Morris 'quad' tractor. Im about to set sail with my first ever Armortek project and ive chosen the new Kompact Kit (hopefully breaking myself in easy you see)until such a piece of kit becomes available, whats your thoughts on a M5 Stuart (VI) turretless, which i know was used for the 17 pounder. I cant find any reference images of it ever pulling a 25 pounder. Wonder what your thoughts are on how one would look behind the Stuart?
Anyway, any replies or thoughts would be welcome, either way Im looking at the 25pdr as a stand alone piece.

Hi Les, and welcome.

No-one can say for certain that someone, somewhere, didn't hitch a 25 pounder to the back of a Stuart tractor, so go for it, at least until the Quad arrives :D

Thats my thoughts actually, in all probability somewhere in the desert......(thats the colour scheme I am planning) an artillery unit hitched it to a passing crew? Either way, thats the plan.
