This realistically weighted wheel set containing 4 wheelsfor the Husky TSV from Meng (VS009) is an ideal alternative to the supplied vinyl and plastic in the kit. The set contains the front pair with small bolts on the hub and the rear pair with larger bolts.

Set of 3 Laycorn Logistics Boxes (or ‘Thomas’ Bins) in resin and etched brass. These lightweight, robust GRP, steel and plywood bins are often attached to British Army vehicles (particularly FV432) or stacked in the rear of trucks. The plywood shelves have multiple positions and the door can be opened or removed. Often these bins would be used to store tools and equipment in softskin vehiclesproviding a degree of protection from dirt and weather.

This set of Ballast Weights for the Diamond ‘T’ 980/981 comes in three stack-able ‘layers’ of cast weights and 30 individual weights to allow you to customise your model.

The Longline Light Strike Vehicle (LSV) was born out of an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) for a fast lightweight strike platform for use behind enemy lines. Built and tested in the run up to the 1991 liberation of Kuwait for the purposes of ‘Scud Busting’ deep behind enemy lines.

Designated Ground Mobile Weapon Platform (GMWP) by the MOD the LSV was a tubular space frame vehicle with torsion bar suspension derived from Volkswagen parts. Powered by a 1.9 ltr petrol engine of flat 4 configuration and rear mounted for low centre of gravity and handling.

Mk1 vehicles were rear wheel drive, Mk2 (only 5 produced) were 4 wheel drive and Mk3 were 4 wheel drive with a re-designed rear end build around a 1.9ltr VW TDI diesel engine tilted to one side to reduce its overall height.

In practice the vehicle was found to lack the carrying capacity for long range desert operations and after the conflict the vehicles were passed on to 24 Air Mobile Brigade where full road legal lights were added as well as strengthening the frame and up-rating the suspension.

This kit covers only the 2 wheel drive SAS variant as tested at the time of the Gulf War. This vehicle had a crew of 2 sitting in fibre glass bucket seats and had a .50 cal HMG fitted in a Vinghog soft mount.

Designed by Rob Tearle, this kit is our first to have been almost entirely designed in a digital format allowing us to 3D print highly detailed and robust masters. Many thanks to Tim Perry for his boundless enthusiasm for good design and all things 3D printed and to Ian Young who’s brilliantly preserved vehicle was made available for us to research.

Replacement 1/35th scale semi-flexible resin track for replacing the ‘rubber band’ or poorly detailed injection moulded track supplied with many model kits. The set will contain moulded lengths, or links depending on the actual vehicle type with some extra links.

This set contains 12 Methyl Bromide fire extinguishers of the ‘Essex’ company’s design from the 1930’s used on British War Department (WD) vehicles until the chemical was banned as a toxic substance in the 1960’s.

In war time these were normally green (either deep bronze or mid bronze) with the metal holder being painted the vehicle colour. The striking cap and nozzle were bronze and some had a small bronze/gold label visible. In peacetime they were painted orange.

This set was researched and designed by Rob Tearle.
