The Bronco Models 1/35 British Loyd Carrier with 6-Pounder Anti-Tank Gun (CB35189) is a highly detailed plastic model kit from Bronco Models, a Hong Kong–based manufacturer renowned for exceptional historical accuracy and fine surface detail.
The combination of the Loyd Carrier as prime mover with the Ordnance QF 6-pounder (57mm) anti-tank gun was the primary mobile anti-tank capability of British and Commonwealth infantry units from 1942 onward. The 6-pounder replaced the inadequate 2-pounder and provided a genuine ability to defeat German medium armour at standard combat ranges in North Africa, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, and North-West Europe. Loyd Carrier and 6-pounder teams served in anti-tank platoons at battalion level, providing a crucial defensive and offensive anti-armour capability.
