The British and Commonwealth forces operated a considerable reconnaissance element that scouted ahead of the main armoured force; searching for enemy troop positions and dispositions. The Humber Armoured Car was one such vehicle used for this role; more than able to hold its own against other light vehicles and infantry. From the parched deserts of Africa to the streets and fields of Europe; the Humber Armoured Car spearheaded the Allied advance.
Replacing the aging Humber Light Reconnaissance Car; the newly designed Humber Armoured Car quickly became a mainstay of the Commonwealth forces; particularly in the North Africa desert war. Initially armed with one 15mm and one 7.92mm Besa machine guns. The later Mk IV replaced the 15mm gun with a US M5 or M6 37mm anti-tank gun. So successful was the Humber that it served throughout the war; including in the North West Europe and Burma campaigns.
Includes one plastic Humber Armoured Car model; Bolt Action Order dice; Bolt Action stat card; vehicle damage markers; assembly booklet and a full-colour waterslide decal sheet for British; Commonwealth; and Polish vehicles.
