Kit 35017 offers a subject focused on military communications, making a distinctive companion to cargo trucks, troop carriers and fighting vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHistorical background\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bedford QL family entered production in 1941 to meet British military requirements for a three-ton, four-wheel-drive truck. Its forward-control cab gave it a recognisable profile, while the chassis provided a platform for several specialised bodies and roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QLR was the wireless version, carrying an enclosed body arranged for radio equipment and its operators rather than the open cargo body of the general-service QLD. Mobile wireless vehicles helped maintain communication between headquarters and units, allowing information and orders to pass as formations moved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReliable communications were essential to coordinating wartime operations. A wireless truck represented more than transport: it provided a working space for the personnel and equipment that kept command networks functioning. The QLR therefore tells a different part of the battlefield story, one centred on signals, organisation and the work behind the front line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eModel details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: IBG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Bedford QLR Wireless truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNationality: British\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: Second World War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole: mobile wireless communications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit number: 35017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a specialist British soft-skin vehicle to your collection, or use the QLR as the focal point of a headquarters or signals diorama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IBG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55292230271317,"sku":"IBG-35017","price":45.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8287\/8805\/files\/135013-10244-41-pristine.avif?v=1791640937","url":"https:\/\/monstermodelsandgames.co.uk\/products\/ibg-1-35-bedford-qlr-wireless-35017","provider":"Monster Models and Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
