Response to WW2 British radio truck question...

Some of Montys vehicles are very wellknown, like the Humber Snipe.
This has been made by Airfix in 1/32:

Others are the Leyland Caravan, this has been made by Wespe in 1/35:

And the Fordson with the mapvan, at least the caravan is available from Wespe, I thought the Fordsson used to be as well:

He also used a Mack caravan, also produced by Wespe:

Apart from these im sure he must have had some Bedford QLRs and this may very well be the vehicle you are looking for. Plus Models used to do a conversionkit for the old Airfix/Italeri/Revell Bedford QL Portee:

Resicast have a very nice full kit of the Bedford QLR:
