Tamiya 300032407 LRDG with 7 Figures 32407 1:35 Military Model Kit

Product Information

This is a series in exact 1/35 scale of World War II & post war vehicles, armour and figures representing armies from all over the world. It is ideal for constructing dioramas. The details on the subjects are incredible and extremely accurate right down to the expressions on the soldiers' faces.

The theodolite stand is moved from the offside wing and either goes laterally across the bonnet just in front of the netting, or has been seen running down the centre line of the bonnet. No reason why but it's easier to reach when going fore and aft rather than across. 10FG51 has it going across because that's where the old bolt holes are. The 351 VHF set mounts on the offside fuel board along with a crewbox and the initiate box. If detail is your thing, the Initiate box has a big orange button 🙂 Here is a 351/352 configured as a 352 with the SURF on top of the set and the 16W amp (finned) between the set and battery. Note the wide GS bergen frame it all fitted onto. Next to it is the CIK frame which would be attached to the vehicle and into which the bergen frame clamped. On FFR Rovers it went on the Dexion behind the front seats. Clansman was coming into service in the late 70's: it had just arrived at Woolwich when I was there in 79 (don't you dare scratch it......). So maybe too late for your timeframe.I've uploaded a photo of the spare wheel in place with the tyre bead breaker that lives on the offside rifle holster. The nose of the bead breaker locates in a reinforced hole in the front bumper. The wheel is mounted on the spare wheel carrier to keep sand out when replacing the inner tube. A good little diorama.

The Medium Tank M4 Sherman was commonly used by the United States and other Western Allies during WWII. The tank was produced in large numbers, with thousands distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth and Soviet Union. The British called the M4 'Sherman' after the American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman. In 1941 the British army had 700 Stuart tanks in service, 170 of which were deployed in Operation Crusader in North Africa. Though Stuarts surpassed most of the Axis tanks in many respects, the operation was unsuccessful due to the poor tactics of British troops. The M3 Stuart was an American light tank that had been delivered to British forces by the US Government during WWII, before the Americans officially entered the war. Subsequently it was deployed by the Allies until the capitulation of Germany. A length of angle iron is fitted on the bulkhead behind the front seats. All existing radios and mounts need to be removed first.

As the version I chose, has a 37mm Bofors antitank gun, the only thing that rests to get is the Mirage or Tom kit (Ref.#35212) since the kit is the same. 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 As Viper says, 'European' Pinkies had bigger 'boots' than normal Landrovers - the top two images were taken in Belize as far as I'm aware. The tyres may be your biggest challenge as no-one does a set specific to the Pinkie.
