1:72 Bedford QL Tanker
Bedford QL is a British universal truck from World War II. The first copies of this vehicle appeared in 1940, and serial production continued in 1941-1945. About 52,000 copies of this car were produced in its course. The vehicle was powered by a single Bedford gasoline engine with a capacity of 3.5 liters and 72hp.
The Bedford QL was created in connection with the huge demand of the British army for new trucks that arose at the outbreak of World War II, and especially after the retreat of British troops from Dunkirk in the summer of 1940. Bedford QL was characterized by all-wheel drive (4x4), load capacity up to 3 tons and the possibility of airing up to 11 soldiers with full equipment. In the course of serial production, many versions of this truck were created, for example: QLD (basic version), QLB (artillery tractor for the 40mm Bofors gun), QLR (staff car) or QLT (specialized version for transporting infantry). Cars of this type were used in many campaigns of World War II, including during the campaign in Italy (1943-1945) and in Normandy in 1944.
