Product Description

This is a resin KIT of 1/35 Crossley 4x4 RAF Fire Tender - DECALS INCLUDED.
For ready built, please contact us for price.

  
In 1935 a new War Office specification was issued for a medium 3 ton 4 x 4 truck to replace the 6 x 4 IGL type and in 1938 an order for a prototype was placed. This vehicle was of an advanced design with independent suspension,  bus engine and a 5 speed gearbox. It performed well but in the end because of pressures to get production underway and ease of repair the War Office requested a simpler vehicle.
  The final design, known as the FWD or Four Wheel Drive, had an 11 foot wheelbase and used a conventional suspension. They were famously used with a "Queen Mary" trailer by the RAF for aircraft transport and recovery. The FWD was Crossley Motors largest ever production run exceeding even the World War 1 RFC, given the conditions and the cramped factories a remarkable performance.
