This is a faithfully reproduced model of a vehicle used by the British Army at key moments in history, designed by the renowned MiniArt company for demanding modelers and collectors of World War I vehicles.

Historical background and use

The LGOC B-Type model originated from London’s iconic double-decker buses operated by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC). During World War I, these vehicles were converted into military lorries for transporting supplies and soldiers. The British B-Type lorries were used on the Western Front from 1914-1918, and also served as ambulances and technical support vehicles. The mass conversion of buses for the British Army made the B-Type one of the symbols of logistics of the World War I era.
