Did this happen? LRDG 15 CWT W/ Breda

So, many years ago I bought this kit and modified it. A single-kit bash, if you will. I am a fan of the LRDG and pretty much all things WWII in North Africa. I lived in the Mojave Desert for a few years and find the Long-Range Desert Group as being kindred spirits. I also love the CMP 4x4 truck variants as well.

So, I did this...

Any comments good or bad is appreciated.

I know that the metal thickness is way off on the doors and body.

But it is what it is.

Model on. Be well.

The build looks good . Did you do a search for that combination ? It would not surprise me to see it though. Many odd combinations were done .

This is a kit bash that I did maybe 10 years ago. After reading up and buying several books on the LRDG, I realized that they used what they had and what was good.

On a side note of the history of North Africa...
I even did research behind the film and author of "The English Patient", a favorite film to me. Although it was mostly fiction, it was deep to me. Historically... Almassy was apparently a homosexual, if one believes the historical opinions. None- the- less, the film was phenomenal.

The bottom line is it could have happened. My kit bash, that is. A search today on google shows me that similar vehicles were created.

It's all about history and maybe it happened. It's all about having fun, with history in the mix.

Be well. Model on.
