Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the British self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle Morris C9/B in 1:35 scale, in the form corresponding to the early production series. The combination of a truck chassis and a large gun on a traversing mount makes the model a rewarding piece for a display case as well as for a diorama. Thunder Model works this subject out in detail, including the option of building the vehicle in the travel or the firing position.
The Morris C9/B, listed in British terminology as a self-propelled carrier for the Bofors gun, came into being on the lengthened chassis of the Morris Commercial C8 artillery tractor with four-wheel drive. On its platform it carried a 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun with all-round traverse. The vehicle had no classic enclosed cab, because it would have prevented the barrel from turning; the crew sat side by side in a low body and even the steering wheel could be folded out of the path of the barrel. For firing the vehicle was raised on massive screw jacks, which gave it a stable base. The vehicles were produced in 1943 and 1944 and served British and Allied units in North Africa, in the Mediterranean and in Western Europe.
Think in advance about whether you want the vehicle in the travel or the firing position, because it affects the assembly of the jacks, the mount and the elevation of the barrel. Paint the chassis and the drivetrain before the platform is fitted. Build the gun separately; it has many small parts and it is easier to paint away from the vehicle. British equipment tends to be in a single shade, so the result is decided by fine shading of the surfaces, discreet emphasis of the rivets and the edges and light dust on the wheels and the jacks.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
