Panzer Art 1:35 Cooler Mask w/Canvas Cover for Scammel Pionieer SV2S Resin Kit.

The Scammell Pioneer was a British 64 tractor unit used in World War II as an artillery tractor, recovery vehicle and tank transporter.

Designed as a 64 off-road vehicle for use in Britain’s colonies where metalled (sealed) roads were scarce, the Pioneer was first produced in 1927. Though lacking all-wheel drive, its combination of a suspension with great travel, excellent traction, and a low-revving engine gave it impressive pulling power on rough ground at low speeds.

Though not designed for military use, the British War Office purchased a single petrol engined example in 1932. Equipped as a tank transporter with a permanently coupled 18t semi-trailer, it was assigned to a training unit but did not initially catch on. Additional transporters were not purchased until 1937.
