Does anyone make the Archer self-propelled A/T gun?

I've just read the Osprey Brit A/T gun book and came across this vehicle.

Accurate Armour produce one in resin. An excellent kit but pricey. i believe it retails at about £70. Built one a few years back and was very pleased with it.

Thanks for the quick response. I think spending 70GBP on a kit will be reason enough for SWMBO to have me knocked off for the insurance... :-)

Didn't Maquette do an archer?
Or was that the thing that was a rip-off of the AA one?

Thanks Drader-
that answers that question!
If I remember rightly, the Maquette 'version' wasn't all that cheap either...
That AA archer looks the business though.
I want one now!

There is also the Maquette Archer. Havn't built it but I did do thier Valentine. Not the best casting I have ever seen, but its not as expencive as the AA. The way I look at it is body putty is cheap .

Cheers
Keith
