1/76th Scale WW2 British Army Vehicle Kits |
| Sitemap |
Our Current Range of 1/76th Scale WW2 British Army vehicle kits. These are super-detailed kits in cast metal and etched brass. |
| This range of kits and detail sets is intended to bring to 1/76th vehicles a level of detail more usually associated with 1/35th scale. Over time it will build into a highly-collectable series of WWII-era models depicting many interesting and original British Army & RAF subjects. |

Many survived in civilian use into the 1960s. | |

The crew consisted of eight men, including the driver. Three vehicles were captured by the Germans in North Africa, with two being used by Rommel and his staff. | |

| Beaverette Mk.3 Point Defence Vehicle | £8.90 |
| This fascinating vehicle was introduced after the Dunkirk evacuation, as an extemporised armoured car. They were built on a 14hp car chassis, but it was only with the MK.III that proper armoured plating was introduced.

| Marmon Herrington Mk.2 Armoured Car | £14.90 |
| These South African designed vehicles were the mainstay of the British armoured car regiments in the Middle East in 1941/2, and were also used in Malaya and Italy. They were used by the Indian Army in the Middle East, and the British and Indians between them had 1,180 vehicles. The South African Defence Force had over 4,500, and they were also used by the RAF for airfield defence in this region. Armament varied but a Bren Gun and a .303 Vickers machine gun were usually carried. This is a highly detailed kit - with many fine details - including photo-etched sand channels. | |

| Bedford OWB 32 Seater Service Bus | £22.90 |
| This kit covers the utility version of the Bedford with the angular rear roof profile. The type was used by the British Army in the later war years, and examples were purchased and used by many civilian operators after 1945.

Africa, where the open cab was more appreciated than in the European Theatre. | |

| Leyland Hippo Mk.2 10 Ton GS Lorry | £25.90 |
| This kit of the big Hippo features much small detail, including all main chassis members, plus finely-cast wheel and spring assemblies, together with full rivet detailing on the cab and windscreens. This vehicle is guaranteed to be the centre-piece of any WWII diorama. | |

A Big 'Thank you' for the comments of praise and encouragement we have received from several of our vehicle kit customers - its nice to know that you appreciate all that extra detailing, and our more prototypical approach to construction - generally building the chassis first!
