Modelers and collectors were delighted when Dragon released a large-scale 1/6
model of the famous 1/4-Ton 4x4 Truck (Item No. 75020). The kit bedazzled all
with its intricate detail and pleasurable assembly, providing modelers with
the ideal vehicle to accompany their 1/6 scale figures. Now Dragon is proud
to announce a follow-up kit, this time featuring the iconic American 4x4 as
a British Desert Raider vehicle. The Special Air Service (SAS) and Long-Range
Desert Group (LRDG) widely used this kind of vehicle in North Africa. The SAS,
formed in July 1941 by David Stirling, was a commando force designed to operate
deep behind enemy lines, something it did very successfully.
The 1/6 model kit shows a vehicle heavily modified for desert operations by
the SAS. It is heavily loaded with jerry cans containing spare fuel and water
to allow reconnaissance missions deep behind the frontlines. For operations
in the hot climate, the grill has been removed and a water condenser fitted.
The SAS vehicle is also heavily armed with fast-firing Vickers K machine guns.
Both a single Vickers K weapon and a twin-mount machine-gun are fitted ready
for use against ground or aerial targets. This exciting kit is accurate in every
detail, and it’s ready to range widely across the sandy desert terrain of North
Africa!
