Not sure about the mainland, but the Crooked Dice Tortuga might work for you:

The hard top (and the cab top) can be detachable.

Any of the Rubicon ones work?

Depends on your feelings about 28mm scale vehicles.

Company B VW 82E (1/56); Tamiya VW 82E (1/48) and a die cast VW Beetle (1/43).

Admittedly a Warlord resin truck, but the only one I have with to hand.

Crooked Dice Minions as Unified Intelligence Taskforce troops.

Ok, the main problem is to find in Eurozone! Too expensive from the UK for me in Belgium. There is the Bedford at Anyscale, but i don’t want to pay an additional 30€ on arrival in Belgium!

Wouldn´t mind seeing pictures of your project also located in Belgium and looking for suited figures

Would also say WWII GMC´s, Land Rovers, Willy Jeeps, Bedfords, etc

Ordered miniatures at Grubby Tanks ( Britannia). Hope to receive them the coming week!

When I was after some, I ended up getting some Vanguard Bedford S lorries.

The Bedford RL was based on the S type and visually they look right. Only thing is, they come in civilian colours so require a paint job..

Unfortunately, I checked eBay and there are none of the right version available, yet..

I didn’t know that company, went looking, they are 1/64, so maybe to small? Thanks anyway.

SirRoystonPapworth · « **Reply #13 on:** June 12, 2023, 07:17:55 PM »

Nope, the Vanguard ones are 1/43 not 1/64..

SirRoystonPapworth · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2023, 08:30:56 PM »

Er oops..

They are actually Corgi Classics, Bedford S Canvas Back (Tetley) from the Brewery Collection.

I walked down to the War Office to check.

Sorry..
