Historical vehicle enthusiasts will also appreciate the FV4101 Charioteer in the Middle East and the Bedford MWD General Service Closed Cab – classic British military designs connected with the post-war period and World War II. One of the most interesting highlights is the pair of Supermarine Type 300 K5054 prototype kits representing the aircraft during its first flight and later test flights. These releases are especially appealing for aviation history enthusiasts and collectors of early British fighter aircraft.
