NEW GLUEABLE RUBBER TRACKS - SUPER DECALS FOR 3 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET

During the Africa campaign, the British Army used some Stuart light tanks, without the turrets, as armored personnel carriers or as artillery tractors. Later on, to overcome the shortage of armored vehicles, the Canadian General Guy Simonds ordered the field workshops to remove the howitzers from the old M7 Priest and to convert them into infantry transport vehicles. Thanks to the positive results of the initiative among the Commonwealth troops, a lot of old tanks were converted in “Kangaroo”. Kangaroo was the nickname given to the modified vehicles able to perform the transportation of fully equipped soldiers directly close to the enemy line. The defensive armament could vary and depended on the availability of weapons including .50 or .030 Browning machine guns and Boys anti-tank rifles.
