Now we have the 8TH army Tank Rider's; we NEED a BEDFORD QLT Troop Transport Truck; with MORE Rider's aboard! Also, I seethat the CWT-15, Utility Truck, has been used by the British in N.Africa many Times!CIAO!

The CWT15 looks exactly like the CWT 30 (LRDG). The only difference is the bumper, the rear wheel well, which is rectangular and smaller in size. I took out the bush guard from my KC CWT 30 and made it a CWT 15. It will go well with the Figarti CWT 30 which are bigger (and iI think is the right 1/30 scale). The LRDG used the CWT15 and later replaced with the American made Jeep.

I hope I could Post a Photo of the CWT-15, its a Small Vehicle used in Europe and N.Africa by the British Army; but it has a Front Cab looks like the 25th Pounder Gun Tractor, but has a Rear Bed with a Canvas Canopy!

I think this is the truck John is talking about. It's a Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) 15cwt. They were produced by both Ford and Chevrolet to a standardized design. In fact, Canada supplied over 90,000 Commonwealth Type B or "softskin" type vehicles for the North African campaign.
