In the ongoing race between tank armor and anti-tank guns, even the 6-pounder would not be powerful enough for long. The answer was the huge 17-pounder. The barrel was ready by May 1942, but the carriage still needed work, so in an effort to rush the gun into service to deal with the arrival of heavy German panzers like the Tiger, a temporary hybrid solution was created by mounting the gun on a 25-pounder carriage.
The resulting 17/25-pounder, code-named the Pheasant, first saw action at the Battle of Medenine in March 1943.
The 17-pounder Anti-Tank Troop boxed set includes two plastic 17-pounder anti-tank guns, two large six-hole bases, one base plug sprue, two plastic gun crew sprues, and one unit card.
