lt;pgt;ICM 1/35 Monty's Mobile Office Caravanlt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Descriptionlt;br /gt;When General Montgomery was commander of the 8th British Army in North Africa, he was given a specially designed staff vehicle. This original vehicle was based on the standard British army vehicle Leyland Retriever. A non-standard structure was installed on the basic chassis, which was a mobile field office, the interior of which was divided into two rooms. The front small room was equipped with a bathroom, while the large room had wardrobes for things and clothes, a desk with table lamps and a large sofa.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Montgomery had two more special trucks at his disposal, one of which was converted into a mobile sleeping room and the other was used for large staff maps and for meetings. All three vehicles are also known as ‘Monty's Caravan’. They were used by General (and from 1944 Field Marshal) Montgomery until the very end of the war.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Model Featureslt;br /gt;One of the most famous vehicles of World War II - Montgomery's mobile office, known as "Monty's Office Caravan"lt;br /gt;The vehicle features a meticulously detailed interiorlt;br /gt;The decals include portraits of German military commanders that adorned the walls of Montgomery's actual mobile officelt;br /gt;Assembly options let you build the vehicle with an extended canopy and additional stepslt;br /gt;Colour schemes show the office's different paint variations throughout the war periodslt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Model Interior Detailslt;br /gt;The vehicle features a meticulously detailed office interior, complete with a writing desk with lamps, sofa, shelves, storage cabinets, and picture frameslt;br /gt;The bathroom interior has also been faithfully recreatedlt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Markings Availablelt;br /gt;Monty's Office Caravan, North Africa, Autumn 1942lt;br /gt;Monty's Office Caravan, Tripoli, Summer 1943lt;br /gt;Monty's Office Caravan, Germany, Spring 1945lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Model Informationlt;br /gt;Scale: 1:35lt;br /gt;Number of Parts: 436 pieceslt;br /gt;Length: 202 mmlt;br /gt;Height: 91 mmlt;br /gt;Includes detailed assembly instructionslt;br /gt;Highly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plasticlt;br /gt;Box size: 294 x 230 x 58 mmlt;/pgt;
