British QL 6-pdr Portée - Drawings 210925
« on: September 25, 2021, 01:50:45 pm »
When we first designed the Portée, we were thinking to release it together with the two recently-released Bedford trucks in plastic.  However, the QLT-based Portée had a heavily modified cab and rear trunk with a raised floor, making it extremely difficult to share common parts with the QLT.  We eventually scrapped the idea of a single shared QLT/Portée product.

We understand there are a lot of British North Africa Campaign enthusiasts out there who wanted a Portée in their army collection, we'd decided to resurrect the project into a mix-media product.  Our plan is to release this after the plastic 6-pdr gun is available sometime early next year.





































Enjoy!

Another super cool model. One to add to my Desert Rats and 4th Indian 8th Army force.
