Last seen in the Airfix range back in 2008, the 1:76 scale British 105mm Light Field Gun makes a comeback to the Airfix range. Perfect for dioramas, this kit includes parts to build two guns, featuring 3 different schemes, along with various ways to display the finished build. Coming in at skill level 1, the kit contains a total of 52 parts and measures an overall length of 92mm and a width of 24mm.
A light, yet robust modern field gun, this impressive weapon was flexible enough for troops fighting in the most inhospitable of terrain and could be towed by Army Land Rovers or carried as an underslung load beneath the larger British helicopter types.
In service with the British Army from 1976, this new weapon was designed to possess greater range and lethality than its predecessor, whilst retaining the portability of that unit, however, this did make it a heavy gun.
Produced in large numbers, these guns were exported widely and served with distinction during the Falklands War.
Kit #A02332 British 105mm Light Field Gun is available now from Airfix - Price: £11.99
