Michael KohlExcellent models and very good photography. Maybe to flatten the wheels a bit to give them optically a more solid stand.

gvizbi autorThank you guys. @Michael I agree about the wheels, it would be much more realistic if they were weighted.

Album info
The model should represent an early version of the AEC Matador, used as an artillery tractor, towing a 6-inch Howitzer. It's based on a reference photo taken in February 1941, near Giovanni Berta, Lybia. It probably belonged to the 234th Battery, 68th Medium Regiment, HQ Middle East Command. However, at the time the photo was taken, the battery was temporarily attached to the 64th or 7th Medium Regiment under the XIII Corps, while the rest of the 68th was deployed in Sudan. It was taken during the opening stages of Operation Sonnenblume in some godforsaken place in Libya.
