British Mk.4 6pdr Anti-tank Gun, 1/35 - AFV-Club AF35217

The model British Mk.4 6pdr Anti-tank Gun from AFV-Club, reference AF35217, reproduces at 1/35 a late-type British Ordnance QF 6-pounder Mk.IV anti-tank gun. This plastic kit to be assembled depicts an iconic towed artillery piece from the British armament of World War II.

The QF 6-pounder was used by British forces as an anti-tank weapon. Its compact size and towed carriage make it a particularly suitable subject for building an artillery scene, a towing vehicle diorama, or a presentation focused on British equipment.

AFV-Club offers a detailed reproduction of the carriage, recoil system, and breech. The shield is reproduced with realistic thickness. The gun includes a rifled metal barrel, and two types of muzzle brakes are provided. The carriage can be mounted in firing position or in towing position, with a mobile road lock.

The contents also include soft tires, an ammunition box, and photo-etched parts for added detailing. The model requires glue and paint to be assembled and finished.

At a scale of 1/35, each dimension of the real equipment is reduced by a factor of 35. This reference is a great starting point for working on British military tones, wear effects on metallic elements, and the patina of a field artillery piece.
