Features
The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War.
This model kit features two vehicles: The 30cwt Chevrolet and the Willys Jeep.
During World War 2, Canadian factories built large numbers of standardised trucks for the Commonwealth armies. One of these was the Chevrolet 30 cwt, which became most famous in service with the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) of the British Army.
The LRDG vehicles were mainly two wheel drive, chosen because they were lighter and used less fuel than four wheel drive. They were stripped of all non-essentials including doors, windscreens and roofs. They were fitted with a bigger radiator, a condenser system, built up leaf springs for the harsh terrain, wide low pressure desert tyres, sand mats and channels plus map containers and a sun compass.
The other vehicle, the Willys Jeep, was a highly successful American off-road capable light military utility vehicles built in large numbers to a standardized design for the United States and other Allied forces in World War II from 1941 to 1945.
From July 1942, Willys Jeeps began to be issued in the LRDG for the patrol commander and patrol sergeant.
Note: Assembly required. Paint/glue not included.
