Go through assembly guide before you start your work.
Working with PE parts:
Heat up PE parts with lighter before use, brass will soften and become easy to bend and work with
Tamiya Super Thin Glue Gunze Mr. Cement are recommended for plastic parts, let the glue work for a few
seconds, then push parts together, melted plastic will fill the gaps between parts.
You can also melt sprue frame and use it as an amazing filler for small works, or use this glue to wash out
tiny seam lines on little parts or make texture on some parts etc.
The Morris Commercial C8 FAT (Quad), is an artillery tractor used by the British and Commonwealth forces during the Second
World War. It was used mainly to tow field artillery guns.The first Morris C8 Quad was delivered in October 1939 and it then
stayed in production until 1945. There were two changes to the mechanical side of the vehicle, and it showed up in three body
variants. A new four-cylinder engine mounted on a sub frame, not directly onto the chassis. The full metal body had
a characteristic "beetle back" shape. It could carry up to 6 men, and it was capable to store 24 complete boxed rounds of 25-
pounder ammunition and at least 8 boxed antitank shells, together with vehicle and gun detachment equipment.
Mark I
Only 200 made in 1939 and very early 1940. Front axle had provision for a locking differential, the axle was mounted above
the springs. The vehicle had permanent four-wheel drive and 10.50 × 20 inch tyres.
Mark II
Approximately 4000 made in 1940 and early 1941. It was almost identical to the Mk I, with removed the provision for the locking
differential.
Mark III
Approximately 6000 made from 1941 to 1945. The front axle was mounted below the springs, and four-wheel drive could be
switched on or off as required. Tyres were 10.50 × 16 inch size.
Body variants:
All Mk Is and approximately the first 3,000 Mk II had a "beetle back" body with two doors, two small windows on the right side
and one on the left side, and an all-metal roof with two revolving vents.
The later Mk II and approximately the first 4,000 Mk III had a late type of "beetle back" body with an additional small window on
the left front side and windows in both doors. A canvas roof was mounted on a cruciform steel frame over the crew compartment,
and there were two square vents in the roof behind the canvas section. The vehicle had larger fuel tanks and filler cap surrounds.
The last 2000 Mk III had a "Number 5 body", which was a new design with a square shape and a complete canvas top with
two circular hatches, and four doors with windows.
