1:35 Bedford QL Truck

The Bedford QL military truck series was introduced in the late 1930s at the request of the British Army to provide a more modern and flexible transport vehicle. Testing was completed in 1940, and by early 1941, the Bedford QLs were distributed to operational units. Throughout the war, it was deployed at various fronts and proved to be a valuable asset in meeting logistics and transport needs, thanks to its all-wheel drive and relatively low weight, which increased its payload capacity. Due to its flexibility and robustness, it was also used for towing and transporting artillery pieces such as the 6 Pdr anti-tank gun and the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun. Equipped with a 72-horsepower 6-cylinder gasoline engine, it was also noted for its ease of maintenance and repair, an important factor on the battlefields.
