1/35 Military Miniature Series No.92
British L.R.D.G. Command Car 30cwt Truck
Item No: 35092
Adapted to the Desert
The Long Range Desert Group (L.R.D.G.) was a mobile unit that the British Army employed in North Africa during WWII, and which was tasked with harrying Nazi German communication lines. One of the vehicles that they relied upon was this 1.5ton truck, modified for use as a command car. With economy of weight a primary consideration, the roof and doors were removed; the vehicles were further localized with the use of run-flat tires, a radiator condenser and sand mats, while firepower was added with Lewis or Vickers guns.
