Historical background: The QF 6-pdr (Quick Firing 6-pounder) is a British 57 mm anti-tank gun, widely used by the British Army from 1942 during World War II. The improved Mk.V L/50 version featured a longer barrel, providing better armor penetration, which was extremely important in encounters with German tanks. This weapon was mounted, among others, on the Crusader Mk.III, Churchill Mk.III and Mk.IV, as well as the Valentine Mk.VIII/IX tanks, and saw action in the African campaign, the Italian campaign, and during combat in Western Europe.

Product advantages: The metal barrel offers much greater detail and durability compared to plastic equivalents, resulting in a higher-quality finished model. The Besa MG accessories allow for even more accurate reproduction of the armament’s details. The Master GM-72-006 set is recommended both for advanced modelers and intermediate builders who wish to bring the highest level of historical realism to their dioramas and collections.

Assembly difficulty level: 2/5 – the set requires basic modeling skills.
