ICM 35600 Leyland Retriever General Service WWII British Truck 1/35

ICM 35600 Leyland Retriever General Service WWII British Truck 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1/35 scale, intended for military enthusiasts and historical modelers. This kit faithfully replicates one of the most important vehicles used by the British Army during World War II (1939-1945).

The Leyland Retriever was a sturdy 6x4 drive truck produced by Leyland Motors for the British Armed Forces. It was powered by a six-liter, four-cylinder overhead cam petrol engine, providing reliability in demanding front-line conditions. The Leyland Retriever was widely employed by British transport, engineering, and technical units, as well as by command; several specialized versions were also created based on this vehicle, such as the armored Leyland Beaver-Eel.

A fascinating historical detail is that one example served as a mobile office for General Montgomery himself during the World War II campaign – this vehicle can currently be seen at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford.
