Polsten 20mm Anti Aircraft Gun and 3 crew – WW2BP18 – £12.00 GBP

The Polsten was a Polish-designed, simplified Oerlikon cannon. It was quicker, easier and cheaper to produce than the Oerlikon, and was just as good. The British Airborne transported it in a Hamilcar or Horsa glider, towed behind an airborne jeep. They saw action in Normandy, Holland and the crossing of the Rhine.

This is a resin-and-metal kit, supplied unassembled. Some assembly required.
