The Archer is a distinctive wartime vehicle and this Tamiya 1/35 kit shows why. Built on a Valentine tank chassis, the 17-pounder was mounted to fire to the rear, sending the crew compartment forward of the gun. This uncommon configuration is accurately represented, giving insight into the vehicle's tactical design.
Seeing frontline use from 1944, the Archer could threaten heavy German armour, with documented penetration near 192mm at 914 metres. The model mirrors the operational profile and offers a detailed building experience for modellers who value historical accuracy.
