ACE – 72504 – British 40mm AT gun QF 2 pounder

Description:

British 40mm AT gun QF 2 pounder

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 of a British WWII anti tank gun QF 2, a 40mm (2 pounder) AT gun widely used during the early war, especially in the France 1940 campaign as well as Africa till 1942 when replacement by the heavier 57mm QF 6-pounder started. The gun of the QF-2 remained in use during the war equipping armoured cars and other vehicles.

Kit consists of 42 plastic parts, for such small topic is a high amount which means quite a lot of small and delicate parts. The gun can be build or not in travel position or firing position (It was possible to fire the gun on wheels but with a limited traverse angles range), and the side shields are optional too, not always used in combat.
