The British 2 Pounder, known as the Ordanance QF 2 pounder, was a 40mm anti tank gun used in both the French and North African campaigns. Despite most of the British 2 Pounders being left in France after Dunkirk, the British Army rearmed with 2 Pounders (delaying the introduction of the 6 Pounder) due to the concerns about an imminent German invasion of Britain. By this stage the Germans had already 'recycled' captured 2 Pounders designating them 4.0cm Pak 192 (e). As the North African campaign developed the 2 Pounder gradually became obsolete although this was as much to do with it's high sillouette making it difficult to conceal on open ground. By mid-1942, 2 Pounders were being replaced by 6 Pounders although they continued in service with the Home Guard and against the Japanese finally being withdrawn in December 1945. Includes 2 crew figures, base and unit card. Kit comprises 33 parts.
