In 1942, the British army began developing a self-propelled gun Archer equipped with a 17-pound gun, which had performance comparable to the German army's 8.8cm gun. It was decided to modify an existing vehicle as a bridge until a full-fledged anti-tank vehicle was deployed, and the Valentine infantry tank was ultimately chosen. In order to mount a long main gun on a small body, the Valentine's body was extended and used front to back. The front half of the vehicle is used as a fighting compartment and the gun is mounted backwards. If high-velocity armor-piercing bullets are used, it can penetrate 192mm thick armor plates at a distance of approximately 900m, making it possible to destroy any German tank from a long distance. Production began in April 1944 and was deployed to anti-tank battalions in armored and infantry divisions. It was put into action for the first time in October of the same year, and played a major role as a trump card against German tanks.

This is a plastic model assembly kit of the anti-tank self-propelled gun Archer. 

★1/35 scale, total length 191mm, total width 78mm. 

★Based on careful research on actual vehicles, we have created a realistic model of the fearless figure with a long-barreled main gun mounted on a low-slung body. 

★The extended body is based on the Valentine, and even the welding patterns at the joints of the armor plates have been realistically reproduced. 

★The main gun has an impressive form and delicate details such as the breech part. 

★The interior of the open-top battle compartment has a variety of equipment such as a shell rack and an on-board machine gun, giving it a three-dimensional feel. 

★Includes 3 figures: a commander who indicates the target, a gunner who prepares to fire, and a loader who holds a cannonball. 

★Includes two types of decals for vehicles belonging to the Canadian Army and British Army.
