My second entry for this week - a set of Battlefront 15mm Morris Commercial C8 FAT (Field Artillery Tractor) - commonly known as 'Quads'.
Yes, yet more trucks...
These are marked up as part of 128 Field Regiment, Royal Artillery. This unit was one of the three 25 Pdr equipped artillery regiments of 51st Highland Division.
The guns for this unit were painted a while back, but the transport for the guns is lagging a bit behind!
A 4 wheel drive vehicle capable of towing the gun and it's ammo trailer over rough ground, although pretty underpowered and small for the equipment carried. These vehicles were in service in 1939 and served in the British army until 1959, were used in every theatre and widely exported.
4 x 15mm vehicles = 32 points!
Another nice batch of vehicles. I've painted quite a few of these myself over the years (albeit in 6mm) so I have a soft spot for these truck. Probably not the best of their class but they did the job and they did it for a long period making them an important vehicle, especially given their export value.

DeleteGreat looking quads, you really make 15mm look like a tempting scale.

DeleteNice of you to say Stuart, thanks!
DeleteGreat work on these James. They'll provide some nice targets of opportunity for when the Luftwaffe breaks through (meaning never).
ReplyDeleteVery nice James!
