Manufacturer description

From the mid 1930s, several types of Bedford civilian trucks were converted to military vehicles, many of which saw service during WWII. The Bedford OY was one of these. Our 1:76 model is as used by the 15th Scottish Infantry Division as a GS (General Service) transport vehicle and is decorated in the khaki green/black and olive green camouflage colour scheme. This OY model features a 'canvas' tilt at the back. The chassis is khaki green and both the front grille and side grille slots are finished in matt black. Note too, the single rear wheel configuration. Military markings and lettering appear on the bonnet, side doors and across the rear of the model, including the finely detailed 15th Scottish Infantry badge printed in yellow and red on the tailgate.
