The British Light Utility Vehicle "Tilly" had very limited off-road abilities and as WWII progressed the America made Jeep took over the rough and heavy work involved with off-road work. The Tilly was found in just about every theatre of operation where the British military was involved. In late 1944 after D-day the Tilly was found in Northwestern Europe at airfields providing transportation of air crews and supplies as well as providing a mobile base for communication purposes.
Designed as a 4x2 Light Utility Vehicle, the Tilly was produced in the tens of thousands for the British military during WWII. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:48 scale Austin Light utility car or "Tilly" is constructed almost entirely in diecast metal with very little plastic components. Each release features a separately applied shovel and spare tire mounted to the top of the cab and delicate front and rear bumpers. Most releases include a removable simulated rear canvas cargo cover (see photos) for easy viewing of the right hand side driver controls and pad-printed instrument panel and rear seats. Additional features include separately applied headlights and bridge plate (most models) up front and subtle details of a left hand side signal flag just forward of the cab door.
