12 were built and sent to North Africa to take part in the attack on Tobruk.
It had a fine gun but the engine and transfer case left a lot to be desired. The engine would over heat after about fifteen minutes of operation even on the open road and the bearing and gears in the tranfer case being over loaded would break down frequently.
No extra parts were sent with the units so there were six kept at the repair depot just for parts to keep the other six running.hmy:
There seems to be some doubt as to weather any made it into combat because of mechanical problems and if they did they surely would have been towed there.:hmmm
This kit is by "ARK" using the old "Alan" molds and will build into a nice model but from what i've read it needs a lot of TLC.
Cleaning parts and coming up with a plan of attack:
See Ya Later
