King & Country DD202 Morris C8 Field Artillery Tractor and Limber: The Quad Gives the Gun a Journey

A transport combination recorded on film

An Imperial War Museums film record from 30 August 1944 describes a Morris Quad of the 81st Field Regiment towing a 25-pounder through Louviers toward the Seine crossings. It places the familiar combination on actual roads among other moving units.

The film record is historical context for the vehicle’s role. It does not identify King & Country’s miniature as that exact tractor.

The camouflage follows a distinctive body

The manufacturer describes the finish as Mickey Mouse camouflage. Rounded darker patches sit across the sharply sloping body panels, producing an interesting contrast between paint pattern and vehicle shape.

The spare wheel and roof details add height, while the limber’s simpler box form stretches the composition backward. A side-quarter view makes both parts readable.

From gun position to road column

The tractor allows the artillery story to continue beyond a static firing scene. A parked combination can suggest arrival or departure; a road setting can make movement the main subject.

Allow enough shelf length for the tow connections and, if added, DD204’s trailing gun. Crowding the pieces nose to tail hides the relationship that makes this release useful.

DD202 belongs in the collection as the transport partner to the artillery, with a memorable vehicle shape that can also stand on its own.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived DD202 product record lists a release date of July 2013 and a retirement date of March 2016. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
