Pavesi P4 artillery tractor (Italian)

Description

The Pavesi P4 was an articulated tractor originally developed in Italy after the First World War. A truly innovative design, it featured 4×4 capabilities and a double articulated body that allowed it to actually keep all 4 wheels in contact with the ground. It could climb a 75 degree slope and had a top speed of 22kph on roads.

Although designed as an agricultural tractor, its relatively complexity (and therefore cost) generally priced it out of the civilian market. However, it was popular with various European armies between the wars, and the design had to be licensed to various manufacturers to keep up with demand.

During WWII it was the prime heavy artillery tractor for the Italian army and saw extensive use in artillery and AA batteries until its replacement in 1942 by the SPA TM40.

This model is fitted with the semi-pneumatic tires, and has a driver (NOTE: driver not supplied with 15mm/1:87 model).
