The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Hello can any one help me with this , was the Bren gun carrier used to tow the 25 pounder and are there any picture's from . Can't find anything with google.

Thanks William

Hi William,

I think the Bren occasionally pulled the 6pdr Anti Tank Gun. The 25pdr plus limber may have been too heavy.

Regards Fabrice

Thanks Fabrice, I am asking this a can get a bren gun carrier and Armortek isn't making a Morris Quad I must find something els too pull my Limber and 25 pounder.


Regards William

Hello William,
I think fabric is correct, the 25pdr with the limber would have been to heavy for the small Bren carrier, found one picture but this is a modern static picture, Seeing these carriers driving at military shows and what a handful they look like to drive, I cant imagine what they must have been like to drive even with the small 6pdr behind it. Chris.

Hi William,

There are web comments on 25pdrs being associated with the turretless versions of the M3/M5 light tank, saying these vehicles were used as AOP's or "gun tractors". But so far the only photo I have found shows a 17pdr being towed in the desert.

However in terms of a viable, plausible, and inexpensive, gun tractor, the 21st Cent 1/6th Stuart model could be a good starting point. The drive train might need beefing up, but that is not beyond your evident skills !

Kind regards
Fabrice

Hi
I sure at Tankmod Mark said he was doing a Quad.

Hi Mark than i will wait for the Morris Quad.

Thanks William

I would rather have an Armortek Universal or Scout (bren) carrier....

William (and other possible Quad-ies)

This might be a new one for your bookshelves:

Thank you Fabrice for passing that on.

Yes Fabrice,

Thank you from me too, as I was looking for a book called
(Army Wheels in Detail Morris Commercial C8 Quad)
for some time now!

But now I have ordered up this book above, from Bookworld Wholesale Ltd, hoping it will become useful
when Mark starts mass-production of the Morris C8 Quad truck rolling off Armortek
factory assembly line soon!

Cheers

Regards William
