Semi-tracked truck wz. 34 was built in 1934 and developed from the Polski “FIAT” 621 truck. The best known version of this truck was an artillery tractor with a tracked chassis instead of the rear axle and designated C4P. It was designed to tow light artillery - 75 mm field guns wz. 1897 (also called “Schneiders”) and 100 mm “Škoda”-made howitzer with ammunition carts. They also use for towing anti-aircraft guns wz. 36 (75 mm caliber).
The Canon de 75 mle 1897 was a French field cannon, used in both World Wars I and II. In Poland it is often called "Schneider's cannon". It was the world's first cannon of a new design, the principles of which are still used in artillery today. When the French army was armed with them, it became the army with the most powerful artillery for quite a long time. And this encouraged other countries to improve their artillery as quickly, as possible. The moment of its construction made all previously produced cannons instantly obsolete. The Polish army was also armed with these cannons at the beginning of World War II.
Simple models for beginners (they are recommended to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague) and modelers with little experience.
