Rubicon: Morris C8 Preview

Bei Rubicon ist ein neuer Bausatz in der Mache.

New Project for the month of February 2020 – Morris C8 „Quad“ Tractor.

The Morris Commercial C8 FAT (Field Artillery Tractor), commonly known as a Quad, is an artillery tractor used by the British and Commonwealth forces during the WW2. It was used to tow field artillery pieces, such as the 25-pounder gun-howitzer, and anti-tank guns, such as the 17-pounder. Although its sloped sides suggest otherwise, the Quad was not armoured.

The first Morris C8 Quad was delivered in October 1939 and it then stayed in production until 1945, a total of 10,000 were built. At the end of WW2, the Quad stayed in British service in the same roles. It saw extensive action in the Korean War and Malaya.
