Motore: Equipaggiato con un motore a 4 cilindri a benzina, progettato per essere semplice da mantenere e resistente. Uso militare: Il VAI veniva impiegato per trainare attrezzature, piccoli cannoni o rimorchi, oltre che per lavori ingegneristici leggeri nelle basi o nei campi avanzati. Case VAC: Design: Versione agricola del trattore della stessa serie, progettata principalmente per lavori di aratura e movimentazione di materiali. Motore: Anche questo dotato di un motore a 4 cilindri, ma con alcune modifiche per compiti agricoli specifici.

Impiego storico I trattori Case VAI e VAC furono utilizzati dall'esercito americano sia negli Stati Uniti che nei teatri operativi d'oltremare. Furono fondamentali per la costruzione e il mantenimento delle infrastrutture militari, come piste d'atterraggio, basi e depositi di rifornimenti. La loro affidabilità e versatilità li resero una scelta popolare per i compiti di supporto, soprattutto in aree con poche risorse meccanizzate. Eredità Dopo la guerra, molti trattori militari Case furono venduti come surplus e riutilizzati in applicazioni civili, sia per scopi agricoli che industriali. La loro robustezza e semplicità meccanica li resero molto apprezzati, prolungandone l'uso per decenni.

Nation: United Kingdom

Scale: 1/35
Type: Veicoli Militari
Category Kit

1/35 Morris Bofors C9/B Late The Iconic British WWII Gun TruckThe Morris CS9/LAC was an armored vehicle produced for the British armed forces during World War II.The vehicle used the stretched chassis of the Morris CS8 4×2 15 cwt truck, on which was mounted an armored hull equipped with a two-place open-top turret. In the turret took their places the foreman and gunner, while the conductor and radio operator were in the hull.The armored plates were joined with rivets, and the main armament consisted of the Boys anti-tank gun, a Bren machine gun, and a fog gun mounted between the two guns. The radio system was of the No. 19 type. The gearbox was a four-speed, and the CS9 was equipped with indraulic brakes on all four wheels.The prototype was tested in 1936 and, including the prototype, 100 were ordered. First deliveries began in 1938.The vehicle was employed by the 12th Royal Lancers during the French campaign. The 38 examples available to this unit were all destroyed or abandoned. The 11th Hussars employed 30 examples during the North African campaign. These vehicles were equipped with desert tires and proved to perform well in this type of terrain.Instead, both armor and armament proved insufficient, and Morris armored cars began to be withdrawn beginning in 1941.
