Airfix stand at the Hailsham model show - British Army 30-cwt G.S. Truck, 48th Avro Anson Mk I

 



Researcher Luke was manning the Airfix stand at last weekend's Hailsham model show. Main subjects on display included the Anson, 24th Spitfire as build by designer Paramjit, and the new British Army truck.

The new mould British Army 30-cwt G.S. Truck is now available in 1:35 scale, including two decal schemes, photo-etched parts, and superb interior detail for a total of 133 parts

As Britain prepared for war in the late 1930s, the military wasn't just desperately in need of vast numbers of aircraft, tanks, and guns, they also needed many thousands of trucks and general utility vehicles to support all kinds of operations, and the 30-cwt G.S. Truck was among these stalwart machines.
