Some news for British softskin fans, IBG has sent in an update, and the QLR is not that far out.

With the interior stuff, looks like this one could give that Dorchester a run for the money! The more so if it comes pretty basically accurate inside for layout and major elements, and folks can run down some good interior refs and pics for detailing it up some.

Ohh yes...another must have.
Would this one have been used together with the Dorchester?
Like right next to it...?

Finally an 'office' for my MiniArt English officers! (and another hole in my budget )

Looks brilliant.
And a source for additional upgrade sets, I guess.
Having searched on the internet, I spotted quite some pictures with the radio sets displayed. To me, it looks that IBG has reduced this. Nevertheless: I am really happy to see another Allied truck.

Any one an idea about the antenna's etc, to make it look like an office during its opening hours?

Thanks for the update!
(and waiting for the artillery tractor!!! )

No, what I meant was: I want the version for for towing a gun, since the chances of a Matador seem slim in my lifetime. I guess call it the Vanilla Version.

Hi Bill,

Look to AFV Club for the Matador, I've seen some test short of the kit and it's in their listing.

IBG have the QLB listed which will be great for the Bofors.

Hi Bill,

Some test shots of the AFV Club Matador that were found on the web and appeared over on ML.

I know of a 4 1/2" & a 5 1/2" visually very similar, but not 5" howitzer, unless you mean the WW1 one?
got any pics?

SFAIK, the (upcoming AFV Club) Matador was used to tow the 5.5" Medium Howitzers.

The Bedford QLB (for Bofors) had a special rear body & cab for crew & ammo storage.

(want them all, btw, )

A Matador, a complete series of QL's.



Holy Moly, I need two extra bonusses for Christmas!

Looking forward to see these trucks driving into my local hobby shop.
(Does anybody know a good reason to buy these trucks which will be believed by my best one????)
