Manufacturer description

The 41st Royal Tank Regiment was one of several RTRs deployed to North Africa in World War II and this model is the latest in Oxford's 1:76 Military Series featuring the Bedford MWD. In real life it was commissioned by the War Department and provided the backbone of the British Army transportation network. Its roles included use as a personnel and cargo carrier as well as being deployed as transport for the motorised infantry during the African Campaign.

The desert colour scheme on this latest release sees it with a dark brown canvas back, and predominantly beige body, all with dark green camouflage markings. The wheel hubs are also beige. Military markings include the RAF roundel on the cab roof with a yellow outer circle which aided its identification from the air. The vehicle's alpha-numeric markings are also printed on the rear tailgate and along both sides of the bonnet.
