All new 17 Pdr customers together with those who have previously purchased a Kompact Kit 25 Pdr Field Gun will shortly be receiving an email giving details of priority ordering for the next Armortek product the Morris C8 'Quad'!

Hi Gill and Mark, what an inspired choice. The 17 pdr was every bit as successful as the German 88 in the anti-tank role but has enjoyed far less publicity. There is a moving sequence of 17 pdrs in action at Arnhem in the film "Theirs is the Glory" which was filmed after the war with a cast largely made up by participants in the battle. Does this mean you'll shortly be branching out into the aviation business with a one sixth scale Hamilcar glider? Hope it's a great success.

Great news - more temptation!

I dare say the simultaneous announcement of the Quad will have made a lot of people very happy too.

Kevin

The other good thing is that there is now something to tow behind the M3 halftrack if any of those have been built as a British version.

Tim

Did not see that coming!
A brave and original choice, plus was also seen towed by the forthcoming Quad.

Other build options:
Achilles SPG: conversion on Sherman running gear.
Archer SPG: needs a scratchbuilt Valentine chassis to mount it on.

Will definately keep Mr Dibb busy making extras for months!

A 40mm Bofors, or 3.7cm Flak 36/37/43(as used on SdKfz 7/2, Pz IV Mobelwagen and Ostwind AA tanks and several ad hoc converted chassis) would be a nice addition to hope for one day. Bit fiddly with the SD.Ah 58 trailer, I suppose.

Look forward to following the builds of this unique subject. Finally something to shoot Tigers with!

Fabrice

Excellent work Mark!! But released to early: I have not finished my Pheasant yet......
I see it as an incentive to speed up my work, it cannot be that the 17pdr's predecessor is finished later than its replacement!!

17pdr I didn’t expect to see one of these.

Will there be a blank firing option ?

Adrian.

Hi Adrian

Not for this kit.

That would be a very large & heavy model. But will be my choice!

Nice kit as always. no room though.

all the best Mark & Gill.
