The Archer is a British self-propelled anti-tank gun that entered service in 1944 during World War II. It was a rather unusual vehicle—a 17-pounder gun was mounted rear-facing on a Valentine tank chassis. This configuration allowed for a quick withdrawal after firing, increasing the crew's chances of survival on the battlefield. The vehicle was used mainly by the British Army and Canadian forces and saw significant action on the northwest front of Europe during the liberation campaigns of 1944–1945.

The Tamiya modeling kit offers an incredibly realistic representation of the construction details, such as the characteristic open-top hull, the long 17-pdr gun, a realistic cast armor texture, and internal component details. The box also includes decals allowing for several historical marking variants—both British and Canadian.
