FORDSON E38w Mobile Canteen Van
This 1/35th scale resin kit by Leon Hassing depicts for the first time one of the many improvised British “emergency” food vans (Mobile canteens) in use in the UK and overseas in WW2 and Post War. These vans were mainly donated and operated by charities, churches and the NAAFI to provide that all important “cup of tea” and other essentials. Whether after a bombing raid, before embarkation, in occupied cities overseas or just for essential workers these vans were a most welcome and essential part of the war effort.
This model includes full chassis and suspension, interior detail and a comprehensive set of cooking and catering supplies and a nice set of full colour decals for NAAFI, Salvation Army and YMCA use. The FORDSON 10 hp E38w (a UK manufactured FORD) was a typical Van, strange in proportions but full of character captures the essence of this type of vehicle very well.
