Fordson WOT2H (15CWT) ‘Tin Cargo Bed’

Special Hobby have announced a resin kit of the WWII British Fordson 3/4 ton lorry in their Planet Models range.

The WOT2 lightweight lorry was produced by the British Ford factory at Dagenham from 1939 in several varieties. Almost 60,000 of these vehicles were built in total throughout the war, and they remained in service with the Army, RAF and RN well until the end of the 1950s. During the war, these machines supported the British forces in Western Europe, Africa and elsewhere. The WOT2s were also supplied to foreign units such as was the Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade. Some of the lorries were captured by the Wehrmacht and put to an extensive use. Even more armies got their WOTs after the war.

The basis of the model is resin cast, and it also contains a set of etches and 3D-printed parts. The decal sheet offers markings for two CIAB vehicles and one of the Royal Netherlands Brigade.

Kit #MV138 will be available soon from Special Hobby - Price: 21.20 Euros
