This system became synonymous with effective defense against aircraft, being employed both on land and aboard Royal Navy ships. This weapon entered service with the British Army in the early 1940s and was actively used in battles across Europe, North Africa, and during the defense of the British Isles. It served as anti-aircraft protection in key bases and naval convoys (e.g., in the Battle of the Atlantic).\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United Kingdom, Allies (including Canada, Australia, Polish Armed Forces in the West)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II, post-war years (Cold War)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKit does not include glue or paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eContents and Detailing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Zvezda 6170 model features precisely reproduced details of the barrel, aiming mechanisms, and chassis, faithfully reflecting the real appearance of the historic Bofors gun.
