Kit 35030 offers a subject from the working side of wartime artillery, where getting a gun into position was as important as firing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHistorical background\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scammell Pioneer was developed as a heavy off-road vehicle, with a six-wheel layout, drive to the rear wheels and suspension designed to cope with uneven ground. Its low-speed pulling ability made it well suited to demanding military tasks, and the Pioneer family served in artillery, recovery and tank-transport roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R100 was the artillery tractor version, introduced into British Army service before the Second World War. Unlike the SV\/2S recovery variant, its principal purpose was towing artillery. The vehicle also carried gun crews and equipment, supporting the movement and deployment of heavy weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts diesel engine, substantial traction and winch helped crews handle difficult routes and gun positions. The Pioneer’s tall cab and purposeful proportions made it a recognisable part of British wartime motor transport, reflecting an era when heavy artillery depended on specialised tractors to keep pace with operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eModel details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: IBG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Scammell Pioneer R100 Artillery Tractor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNationality: British\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: Second World War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole: heavy artillery towing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit number: 35030\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a heavy tractor to your British military vehicle collection, or make the R100 the focal point of a gun-towing or artillery-position diorama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IBG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55292522070357,"sku":"IBG-35030","price":56.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8287\/8805\/files\/1029990-10244-55-720.avif?v=1791641693","url":"https:\/\/monstermodelsandgames.co.uk\/products\/ibg-1-35-scammell-pioneer-r100-artillery-tractor-35030","provider":"Monster Models and Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
