Dear All, since I have, like almost every one today, to take care about the financial situation of my hobby, combined with an increasing amount of "comments" of my beloved one about the size of my stash, I am getting a bit more selective in purchasing new models.
But since IBG (hopefully very soon) comes with a very nice artillery tractor, the Bedford QLB, I was wondering if the Bronco 40 mm Bofors AA gun could be combined with this truck?
There seem to be two versions of the gun, a Canadian and a UK one. Did the Canadians use the Bedford?
Is the AFV 40 mm ammo and accesories set usefull as well?
And what about the crew number? 4 with or without the driver?

Thanks for your help!

P.

The only images I recall seeing of a Canadian Bofor's in tow, was being towed by a CMP C60. According to the ORBAT at Armoured Acorn, 3-ton Lorries were used, and I would think that in most cases, CMP C15's were most likely used.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks!
A clear picture.
The bad thing is that I can not combine two nice models.
The good thing is that it allows me to purchase a new truck again!
