We are happy to show our SCW latest release at 1/72nd scale: the ubiquitous 1937 Chevrolet 1.5 ton Truck.
Produced at several factories all around Europe --one of them, located in Barcelona--, this light truck saw intensive action not just in SCW but also during WWII, either in Axis or Allied hands.

As it can be seen through the picture above, this our new model kit consists of just 14 parts and is made of resin mostly, with a few pieces in hard plastic (fore wheels) and white metal (bumper).
Kit includes an also resin SCW driver.

It's already available at www.minairons.eu (http://www.minairons.eu/) website, and hopefully soon from our main retailers and distributors too.

Cheers,
Lluís

That truck is aces! I can see using them for my 1940 French Army as a generic 1.5 ton truck... 8)

As for my cat being noisy, YOU tell him to be quiet:

yes  ;)

Matford trucks produced under license or imported ford trucks, it is still unclear, but they were the same vehicles ...
and they were used between 1941 and 1943 .

but they were also used by the french army in france 1940 :
