Pack your LRDG from Resicast

¹⁄35

Friday, February 22, 2013 - 10:15 AM UTC

Two interesting, and impressive, conversion now available from Resicast in 1/35 scale for the Tamiya Chevrolet.

Resicast has announced two new conversion and updates for the Tamiya LRDG Chevrolet. The first is a Heavy Weapon version, loaded down with lots of stowage. This set includes cab details, correct side panels, and weapons, including the Vickers and Lewis guns. The second is a Fitter vehicle, again loaded down with lots of stowage. This set also includes the cab detail and corrected side panels, but there are some extra bits in the stowage to include spare springs, flimsies, a stretcher, and more.

35.2351 – LRDG Heavy Weapon Vehicle
35.2352 – LRDG Fitter’s Vehicle

Armorama would like to thank Resicast for the exciting update.

These are seriously nice items that transform the Tamiya truck into a great piece quite easily. Painting is a lot of fun... The trigger to actually buy some of their stuff is seeing it posted here. The Resicast website is so "difficult" that I wouldn't be surprised to find out I'm not the only one not bothering... If I could spare the time I would probably help them FoC, any more volunteers out there? H.

Another 2 fine options for the truck giving a good selection if your thinking of putting a patrol together! Al

A nice set - if a little overloaded? Shame about the sagging canvas on the front fenders - I'm pretty certain these had slats running through them and were used as sand channels.

Hi Ken, From what I've seen the trucks were packed full at the start of a patrol. Given the distances involved they tended to carry as much as the truck could hold and a bit more lol.

On the sand mats, looking at the pics I believe they are under the sagging canvas bundles which are strapped on top of the mats giving a bit of variety of finish if required. Could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me. This picture indicates something similar with extra stuff on top:

Cheers Al

All the Resicast LRDG trucks are depicted at the start of a mission. Weathering should be subtle.

Hi, if this can help, the two canvas were used as sand channels as well as aerial recon panels (one side sand colour, the other side white and red) See pictures attached. Cheers. Jean-Louis Cannot upload the pictures... Try to have a look at them in my albums.
