Thunder Models 1/35 LRDG CMP F30 Truck with Ordanance 37mm Mk.1 Bofors Gun & Resin Figures
This 1/35 scale kit depicts the formidable "Gun Truck" variant of the Long Range Desert Group's Ford F30 fleet, featuring the heavy 37mm Bofors anti-tank gun mounted on the rear bed. This special edition is distinguished by the inclusion of high-quality resin crew figures, allowing modelers to create a complete diorama scene right out of the box.
Included Crew Figures: Comes with a set of highly detailed resin figures (typically a driver and a gunner) sculpted in realistic poses to man the vehicle and weapon, adding immediate life and scale to the model.
"Portee" Configuration: Accurately reproduces the unique mounting of the Bofors 37mm Mk.I anti-tank gun on the truck bed, a modification used to give the LRDG mobile heavy firepower against Axis armor.
High-Fidelity Gun: The Bofors gun features intricate details, including the breech block, sights, and traverse mechanisms, and can be assembled in firing or travel positions.
Detailed Chassis: Features a full reproduction of the Ford V8 engine, 4x4 drivetrain, and heavy-duty suspension, viewable through the open engine hood option.
Desert Modifications: Correctly captures the specific LRDG adaptations, such as the cut-down open cab, condenser cooling system on the running board, and sand channels.
Multimedia Experience: Includes a fret of photo-etched brass parts for fine details like weapon shields and tool brackets, as well as decals for specific patrol vehicles.
