Description

Description

British forces used passenger car chassis, during WWII, as the basis for pick-up style military vehicles. Officially identified as a “Light Utility Car” soldiers called them affectionately by the nickname “Tilly”. The vehicle was equipped with a 30hp engine and rear wheel-drive. However, the car did not have sufficient off-road abilities and was soon replaced by 4WD vehicles. As a result, the “Tilly” was used in airbases for liaisons and in other paved areas. The vehicle served in the Dunkirk evacuation, North African and Italian fronts, and Europe from the Normandy invasion on.

Tilley from Tamiya

Up to their usual standard, everything fits well, no flash on parts, minimal parting lines to clean up. No photo etched included in the kit. It does include the full engine compartment detail. Four decal and paint options. Almost a fifth, with famous ATS markings for unit driven by Princess Elizabeth, lacking one extra serial for the bonnet side. I’ll have to get another one to do this. I painted mine for the Dutch Princess Irene brigade attached to the British Second Army.
