Manufacturer description

The Dorchester Armoured Command Vehicle in brown and blue-black camouflage colour scheme represents that of the 1st Polish Armoured Division deployed in N W Europe towards the end of the war in 1945. The vehicle with its PL identity printed in black and white on the back of the truck, features additional graphics in red, yellow, pale blue and white relevant to the Division. The chassis and wheels take on the dark brown body colour while the Division's No. 1 and Star emblem are printed boldly in white on the truck sides with additional military numbering, also in white on the sides of the bonnet. The end result is an unusual addition to any 1:76 scale Allied military battlefield.
