Did anyone else notice that the Archer's gun in screwed into place similar to all the tanks with turrets? I wonder if they will be reusing the hull of the miniature to make a Valentine version? Maybe a New Zealand version to fight the Japanese in the South-West Pacific.

Er, the Valentine II is already out in this set, and it's a different hull. Yes, I already took the Archer apart to take a peek...

You can turn the gun housing around, but only if after doing a bit of trimming on the non-gun end. I experimented with it a bit, seeing whether you could transform it into a passable SU-85. And you can, at least until a real SU-85 becomes available.

i got a question about the archer(may sound stupid). so the archer has a fixed rear gun, like the nashorns fixed forward gun. so my question is on the model the end of the archer with the barrel is it's rear and the other end is it's front? cause thats how i read the unit. it just seams odd because of the chassis looks like the front end would be the actually be the end with the cannon. hope it's not a stupid question

Here is a link and you can see the engine compartment under the barrel.
