About product

Bedford QLR 3t Fire Tender 1:72 (IBG)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the British three-ton Bedford truck in its Fire Tender version, in 1:72 scale from IBG. This is a specialized fire and rescue vehicle with 4x4 drive on the Bedford QL chassis, different from the ordinary flatbed. The box contains decals with period markings, for example for Caen 1944.

The real subject

The Bedford QL was one of the most widely used British three-ton trucks of the Second World War and was built in many specialized versions. The Fire Tender form served as a fire and rescue vehicle, typically at airfields and military installations where fires had to be dealt with quickly. It therefore carries a different body from the transport versions.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and work in subassemblies. Finish and paint the chassis, the axles, the cab and the specialized body before you close the assembly up. Lay down a primer before the color coats; an airbrush is ideal. British vehicles suit khaki green (SCC); tune the weathering with washes in the pressed detail and dust pigments on the running gear.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British and Allied vehicles of the Second World War
  • Fans of specialized and rescue vehicles
  • Modelers looking for an unusual fire engine for the collection
  • Anyone after an interesting subject for an airfield or rear-area diorama

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

This model is the Fire Tender version with a specialized fire-fighting body. The QLD is the basic transport flatbed and the QLB was the tractor for the Bofors anti-aircraft gun. They are different versions of the same Bedford QL chassis.

It was a fire and rescue vehicle, typically deployed at airfields and military installations to deal with fires quickly. That is why it carries a different body from the cargo versions.

It is a rewarding vehicle of moderate difficulty. A less experienced modeler can manage it, but expect careful work on the chassis, the cab and the specialized body.
