Charioteer Kombi-Kit
The Charioteer was a 1950’s conversion of existing Cromwell Tank hulls to mount the very powerful 20pdr (83.4mm) gun, in a lightly armoured turret. The vehicle was a panic measure to enable the UK to field as many of these guns as possible against new Warsaw Pact AFV’s which intelligence reports had grossly overrated in terms of performance.
Charioteer was also supplied to the Austrian and Jordanian Armies.This very extensive conversion by Derek Hansen includes new hull parts, complete turret, etched brass detail set and stowage. Included in the set is a complete set of wide 15.5” track and replacement sprockets.
This product is a Kombi-Kit and a donor plastic kit is included to make the vehicle shown in the images.
Unnecessary sprues from the donor kit may have been removed before sale.
