Big and powerful. It was up gunned from 2pdr via 6pdr to 75mm. Lingered on until 1958.
Supplied to a few early NATO armies and far east.
Any takers for a model ?
I would take a few of each model if its made, 2pdr, 6pdr and 75mm
many thanks - votes counted :-bd
Of more use than some of the stuff on here, I'd like one. And brings to mind one that is probably already there, Staghound III, the one with the Crusader III turret and a 75mm.

Wasn't the Deacon SP gun, currently available from PD, on that same chassis? I felt the wheels on that were overly simplified, but at least they might use it as a base. I do like the big AEC.

True, they are both on the Matador chassis. The PD model (I have quite a few) is a one piece casting.
You could always just use a Matador model and claim it as a camouflaged Deacon ;)

Wulf seemed unimpressed with the wheels though.
Don't know what You mean?

The mini is nice as a whole, but the wheels lack the very visible bolts, as I remember.
