This model is a replica of the truck deployed with the 1st Armoured Division in 1941 and features a matt khaki green body, chassis and wheels with green beige canvas back and comes with overall camouflage markings. The interior is moulded in a curry colour. Military markings, including the Division's distinctive Rhinoceros badge, and vehicle identity numbering are authentically reproduced on both the front and rear of the vehicle.
