Flames of War British Airborne 6 pdr Anti-Tank Platoon (x4 Plastic)
British Airborne forces needed lightweight yet powerful anti-tank weapons they could bring into battle by glider. The 6 pdr gun was the ideal solution—compact enough for airborne transport while still packing enough punch to take on German tanks. Deployed in platoons, these guns gave paratroopers the ability to hold objectives against armored counterattacks and secure their positions until reinforced.
Product Info:
This set includes four plastic 6 pdr anti-tank guns with airborne crew, plastic bases, and unit cards for Flames of War.
About the Unit:
The 6 pdr became the standard British and Commonwealth anti-tank gun from 1942, and for airborne divisions it was essential. Once delivered by glider, crews could quickly deploy the guns to cover landing zones, crossroads, or defensive positions. In Normandy, Arnhem, and beyond, these weapons allowed lightly equipped airborne infantry to resist German armor with confidence.
About the Models:
In 15mm scale, this plastic kit provides finely detailed 6 pdr guns and airborne crew teams, sculpted to reflect British paratroopers. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models let hobbyists build accurate representations of airborne anti-tank units. Unit cards are included for easy integration into Flames of War forces.
