Manufacturer description

This 1:76 scale model painted in the urban camouflage scheme adopted by the US Berlin Brigade during its posting to West Berlin during the Cold War period, where it was stationed along with the British and French forces right up until the fall of the Soviet Union. The brown, blue-grey and white rectangular pattern of the body is topped with a dark grey canvas roof, with the wheels repeating the main blue-grey body colour. Added extras on this model include aerials to both the front mudguards and a grey-blue bridge plate attached to the radiator, which in this case is printed with the number 2. A final detail sees it with a military number plate 57 XB 54.
