Gecko Models 35GM0027 Bedford MWD 15-cwt 4x2 GS 1/35

Gecko Models 35GM0027 Bedford MWD 15-cwt 4x2 GS is a precision plastic model kit in the popular 1/35 scale, depicting the famous British military truck from the Second World War. This is a replica of a general purpose vehicle that was the backbone of the British army's logistics – both in Europe, North Africa, and other theaters of war.

The Bedford MWD was light, weighing just 15 cwt (approx. 760 kg), with rear-wheel drive (4x2) and a 72 hp petrol engine, giving it excellent maneuverability and acceleration. Its notably wide bonnet was a distinctive feature of this design, while the light frame, low center of gravity, and short body made it easy to handle in field conditions. This model also replicates characteristic features of the vehicle, such as the fold-down windshield (in early versions) and canvas tarpaulin.

During the Second World War, Bedford MWDs were used to transport soldiers, ammunition, and supplies. Over 66,000 units were built, serving with the British army and allied units until the late 1950s.
