Description
This model assembly kit recreates the British Army’s Archer. As WWII progressed, British troops found that their 2-pounder and 6-pounder guns were being rendered obsolete by German armor, and planners decided to develop a vehicle using the powerful 17-pounder (76.2mm) gun. The vehicle chosen to mount the gun on was the Valentine; the turret was removed and replaced with a fighting compartment – this would be known as the Archer. Interestingly, as there was little time to re-organize the cramped layout, the 17-pounder had to be mounted pointing rearwards to fit it in. As a result, the Archer moved and fired in opposite directions. However, it offered strong performance and served with British and Commonwealth units from October 1944 till the end of WWII. The British continued using it until the early 1950s.

As always tamiya has the best fit and great detail,turned out well
I discovered Sunward Hobbies by chance when searching for 1/35th model kits on-line about a year or so ago. I've found the selection of kits to be decent but more importantly, I've been able to purchase many accessories and tools not available locally or cost prohibitive because of shipping. With Sunward's free shipping of items with purchases over $60, I've found tremendous value. I'll continue to look to Sunward to supply my hobby needs.
