Large Scale SAS Jeep Upgrades

AFV Modeller released new upgrade sets for Takom's 1/16 scale Jeep. This time the upgrades are aimed to convert the Jeep to SAS standard.

16081 1:16 Vickers K Single LRDG Mount

Vickers K Machine Gun with mounting bracket suitable for forward or rearward positions on the Jeep.

16082 1:16 Vickers K Twin LRDG Mount

Double Vickers K Machine Gun mount for Jeep bonnet/hood mount with mounting floor bracket and alternative rear mounting post.

Note that we have done our best to supply the cross beams that connect the two guns but modellers may prefer to add these using brass strip or plastic card and so we have also included a separate set of gun sights to do this.

16083 1:16 LRDG/SAS Fuel Can Stowage for 1/4 Ton Utility Truck

This base set is designed to provide the basic stowage set up for the LRDG Jeeps along with the radiator grille condenser and sun compass. Modellers can then add their choice of weapons set up and additional stowage to build a specific vehicle. Archive photos appear to show that weapons varied from vehicle to vehicle.

16084 1:16 LRDG/SAS Fender Jerrycans (German Pattern)

Set of two German pattern fuel cans in stowage frames to mount on the hull sides behind the front wheel arch.

16085 1:16 LRDG/SAS Fender Jerrycans (American Pattern)

Set of two American pattern fuel cans in stowage frames to mount on the hull sides behind the front wheel arch.

16086 1:16 LRDG/SAS Condenser Can

Radiator Grille mounted condenser connected to the vehicle radiator.

16087 1:16 LRDG/SAS Condenser Can Dented

Radiator Grille mounted condenser connected to the vehicle radiator, this one has the distinctive dent which is a feature of many of those in archive photos.

16088 1:16 LRDG/SAS Sand Channel

Carried by many of these vehicles this part will allow the modeller to recreate specific stowage arrangements.

16089 1:16 1/4 Ton Utility Truck Civilian Pattern Tyre

This single wheel with civilian pattern tyre allows the modeller to recreate these tyres which are seen being used on different jeeps in different arrangements.

16090 1:16 1/4 Ton Utility Truck Spare Wheel Civilian Pattern Tyre

Often seen carried as a spare this allows the modeller to recreate specific vehicle stowage.

16091 Set of x4 weighted Jeep wheels & 1 spare wheel 1:16 scale

Replacement wheel set for the Takom Jeep kit with weighted effect. Tyres feature the Firestone sidewall manufacturers stamps and lettering. Designed to fit the Takom hubcaps. Spare comes with standard mounting cover or alternative simple bar versions for LRDG/SAS vehicles.

16092 1:16 LRDG/SAS M2 Browning Early Bonnet Mount

Repurposed aircraft .50 Cal Browning seen with improvised ammunition feed. This gun comes with a beautifully replicated ammunition belt which means that it can only be modelled in the barrel up resting position as shown.

The set includes the floor bracket which secures the gun to the chassis and runs up through the dashboard.

16093 1:16 LRDG/SAS M2 Browning Late Bonnet/Rear mount

Repurposed aircraft .50 Cal Browning with improvised ammunition box. This arrangement appears to have replaced the dangling ammunition belt arrangement with an improvised feed box mounted on the gun. This is seen fitted both to the bonnet and in the rear of the jeeps so we have included the choice of both mounting arrangements.
