Initially deployed during the Malayan Emergency, these Wickham Type 42 Armoured trains also served in the early stages of the Vietnam War and can still be spotted in Vietnam. They were used in Angola's civil war in the 70s. During the Vietnam War, they were equipped with .30 cal Browning machine guns, for which we've sourced brass replica two-part barrels. Handle these carefully, as they're small and will be shipped in a separate case. The sub-chassis fits onto a Tenshodo Spud chassis motor bogie, accommodating wheelbases up to 31mm. The spud fits easily, using the included screw. The turret is a push fit, and after painting, glue the gun barrel in place with a tiny drop of superglue, using the pre-drilled hole for the Browning.
- Constructed from resin components and a brass barrel
- Can be transformed into a running model with a powered bogie
- Comes with a dummy Spud chassis for static display
- Resin parts may be fragile, handle with caution
- Ideal for beginners with basic modelling tools
- Designed for historical authenticity (Malayan Emergency, Vietnam War, Angola)
- Paint scheme varies based on intended use
