British Scammell Tank Transporter, the late version (Late Goose Neck) in 1:35 scale from the maker Thunder Model: an injection-molded plastic kit of the British tank transporter of the Second World War including the gooseneck semi-trailer.
Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the British combination for transporting tanks in the Second World War: the Scammell Pioneer TRMU30 (6x4) tractor and the thirty-ton TRCU30 semi-trailer with the so-called gooseneck. The gooseneck is named after the cranked shape of the front of the semi-trailer, and the designation late version refers to the later form of this combination. The package contains photo-etched sheet and decals, plastic tires, a fully rendered engine and a well-worked driver's cab with doors and windows that can be positioned. Thunder Model specializes in British vehicles of the Second World War in 1:35 and the Scammell Pioneer range is among its flagship sets.
A tank cannot make a long move under its own power: it ruins its tracks, burns an enormous amount of fuel and breaks up the roads. That is why it is carried on a huge semi-trailer. A tank transporter is therefore just as essential to an army as the tank itself: without it, armored units will not get to where they are needed. The Scammell Pioneer was a British heavy tractor with 6x4 drive, powered by a Gardner six-cylinder diesel. It was created in the 1930s and the British army used it during the war in several roles, as an artillery tractor, a recovery vehicle and precisely as a tank transporter. The Pioneer combination with the thirty-ton semi-trailer carried British tanks across North Africa, Italy and Western Europe and belongs among the iconic images of British wartime logistics.
First assemble the frame of the tractor, the engine and the running gear thoroughly: once the cab is closed you will not get at them. Glue with liquid cement for plastic and spray the parts with primer before painting. Bend the photo-etched parts over a metal ruler and glue them with super glue. The British khaki and olive base color is brought to life by a filter and by washes in the recesses; on the load bed of the semi-trailer and in the wheel arch use pigments for the effect of dust and mud. The combination is an excellent basis for a diorama with a tank loaded on it: any British tank in 1:35 that you already have will serve.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
