Gecko Models has established itself as the premier manufacturer of British and Commonwealth military vehicle kits in 1/35 scale, filling critical gaps in the modeling market with subjects that major manufacturers have overlooked. Specializing in trucks, utility vehicles, armored cars, and specialized equipment, Gecko Models brings meticulous research, exceptional engineering, and outstanding detail to every release, making previously unavailable subjects accessible to Commonwealth military vehicle enthusiasts.
The Bedford truck family forms the backbone of this collection, representing the workhorses of British military logistics during WWII. The Bedford MWC 15-cwt 4x2 water bowser trucks are available in both open cab with aeroscreen and closed cab configurations, featuring detailed 200-gallon water tanks and authentic fittings. The Bedford MWD 15-cwt 4x2 general service truck includes a canvas cover and closed cab, perfect for supply and transport duties. The Bedford MWR FFW radio command truck showcases specialized communications equipment with detailed interior fittings. These kits capture the utilitarian design and robust construction that made Bedford trucks essential to British military operations across all theaters.
Beyond standard trucks, the collection includes fascinating specialized vehicles. The British WWII C8 Mk. II 4x4 field artillery tractor (early version) represents the Canadian-built quad used to tow anti-tank guns and field artillery, featuring detailed suspension and towing equipment. The Daimler Armored Car Mk.I brings reconnaissance capability with its distinctive turret, armament, and armored hull. The early war British Army 4x2 heavy ambulance showcases medical service vehicles with appropriate markings and equipment. The WWII British Army open cab 30-cwt 4x2 GS truck rounds out the utility vehicle lineup with its larger cargo capacity.
The Canadian Ram Mk. II Kangaroo APC (late production) represents an innovative battlefield conversion where Ram tank turrets were removed to create armored personnel carriers. This kit features detailed hull construction, fighting compartment, and the modifications that transformed obsolete tanks into vital infantry transport vehicles used extensively in Northwest Europe. The engineering quality captures both the original Ram tank heritage and the unique Kangaroo conversion features.
Gecko Models doesn't shy away from unusual variants. The German Bedford MW 4x2 Beutewagen (captured vehicle) and German 4x4 7.5cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun tractor C8 (Beutewagen) represent British vehicles pressed into German service, complete with appropriate German markings and modifications. The Korean War British FV18001 Mk. 1 80-inch 4x4 utility vehicle (early production) brings post-WWII British military transport into the modeling realm, showcasing the evolution of British military vehicle design.
The collection includes two remarkable amphibious carriers. The modern USN LARC-V (extra armored version) represents the Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo vehicle with enhanced armor protection, featuring detailed hull construction and amphibious drive components. The US M76 amphibious cargo carrier Otter (early version) showcases this unique tracked amphibian with its distinctive hull shape and cargo bed, used extensively for supply operations in amphibious assaults.
