Bolt Action American US 57mm anti-tank gun (plastic)
Derived from the proven British QF 6-pounder design, the 57mm M1 combined reliability, mobility, and a rapid rate of fire. Its relatively compact size allowed crews to reposition and conceal the weapon with ease, making it a valuable battlefield asset despite the increasing armour protection of late-war enemy tanks.
This detailed plastic kit recreates one of the most widely used American anti-tank guns of the Second World War. The model offers flexible assembly options and can also be built as the British QF 6-pounder, making it a versatile addition to multiple Allied collections.
