About product

First to Fight 1:72 C4P - a plastic kit of a half-track tractor

An injection-molded plastic kit of the heavy C4P artillery tractor in 1:72 from the Polish manufacturer First to Fight. The firm specializes in equipment of the Polish army of the late 1930s and its models are undemanding to build, so they are well within reach of less experienced modelers and suit the building of larger groups of vehicles. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

The C4P was a Polish half-track tractor intended for towing heavy artillery pieces and their crews. It came from the family of half-track vehicles developed in Poland in the 1930s and built by the PZInz and Ursus works; against the lighter variants it had a stronger engine and greater tractive effort. The combination of a wheeled front end and a tracked running gear allowed movement in terrain where a purely wheeled tractor would have bogged down. The vehicle was used in the second half of the 1930s and was among the most capable means of its kind that the Polish army had available.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts off with nippers and sand the remains of the gates down so that they butt together cleanly. Glue with thin cement for plastic applied with a brush into the seam, as it draws itself in by capillary action and leaves no fingerprints. Assemble and paint the running gear and the tracks before you fit the hull, otherwise you will no longer be able to reach them. Apply a primer before painting. Small vehicles in 1:72 gain a great deal from weathering: a dark wash into the recesses picks out the rivets and the grilles, and dust and mud pigments on the lower parts and the tracks give the model scale and weight. Finally even the surface out with a matte varnish.

Who the model is for

  • anyone interested in Polish military equipment of the late 1930s
  • builders of vehicles in 1:72 and of smaller dioramas
  • modelers looking for an undemanding model for one or two evenings
  • collectors of artillery and support equipment, not only of tanks

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A Polish half-track tractor intended for towing heavy guns and carrying their crews. A wheeled front end and a tracked running gear allowed it to move in rough terrain.

Yes. The kits of this manufacturer have a lower part count and an undemanding build, so they are a good entry into 1:72.

It is not. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted, and glue and paints are not included in the package.

With a dark wash into the recesses and dust pigments on the running gear and the lower parts. In a small scale it is better to suggest the weathering than to overdo it.
