Fordson WOT2D "Van Body"

The WOT2 light truck was produced by Ford of Britain in Dagenham since 1939 in several various versions. The production in the war years gave a total of 60,000 examples that served with the British Army, RAF as well as with the Royal Navy well until the late 1950s. During the war, these vehicles offered support to British troops in Western Europe, Africa and elsewhere. They were also operated by foreign units, including the Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade. Some of the WOT2s were captured by the Wehrmacht and put to intensive service. After the war the WOT2s found their way to some other armies, too.
The Van Body variety was used as a staff vehicle or as a mobile radar platform. The basis of our model is made of cast resin and the kit also offers a fret of etches and 3D-printed parts. The decal sheet brings markings for two British WOTs.
