This 1/35 scale "Combo Set" pairs the robust Scammell Pioneer R100 Heavy Artillery Tractor with the massive BL 7.2-inch Howitzer. This kit depicts the primary British heavy artillery prime mover and its towed ordnance as used during World War II, offering a complete artillery train in a single box.
