Usually the preserve of resin kit manufacturers, affordable injection-moulded ground support vehicles have long placed highly on many modellers' wish-lists. So, among the most exciting of the New Year's releases are not one, but two new-tool RAF vehicles!
Bedford MWD Light Truck 1:48 - A03313
Price: £10.99
Scale: 1:48
Skill: 2
Number of Parts: 95
Dimensions (mm): L89 X W41
With the nickname “pneumonia wagon” due to its collapsible windscreen, the Bedford MWD truck was used throughout the Second World War by the RAF. Seen here with both hard and canvas roof options, this vehicle that transported the RAF ground crew was considered to be just as important as the aircraft they flew and maintained.
Albion AM463 3-Point Refueller 1:48 - A03312
Price: £10.99
Scale: 1:48
Skill: 2
Number of Parts: 113
Dimensions (mm): L118 X W45
In November 1934, the Air Ministry was trialling a number of manufacturers’ chassis to fulfil roles within the RAF. Albion won the contract with a specially modified version of the mid-sized 463 with the prefix AM (Air Ministry). It performed a number of roles, the most common of which being a refueller.
