1/72 Bedford MWR British Radio Command Truck
The IBG 1/72 Bedford MWR British Radio Command Truck is a plastic kit of a British radio command vehicle. It contains both plastic and photo-etched parts. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
The IBG 1/72 Bedford MWR British Radio Command Truck depicts the wireless version of the British Bedford MW 15-cwt (760 kg) truck. Almost 66,000 MW-series trucks were built between 1939 and 1945. The MWR had a purpose-built body with positions for radio operators and signals equipment, allowing units to stay in contact with headquarters while on the move. According to IBG, the kit represents the late production version with the enclosed cab that MW trucks received from 1943.
Radio and command vehicles grew in importance as the British Army adopted more mobile and coordinated methods of warfare, and MWRs served British and other Commonwealth units in many theatres. The IBG Models kit contains plastic sprues complemented by photo-etched parts. The box art shows the truck with its tailboard lowered and the rear canvas rolled up, revealing the radio equipment inside.
In 1/72 scale the Bedford MWR is a compact model that fits well into a collection of British Second World War vehicles and can also enhance a diorama of a command post. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
