During 1941 and 1942 the British fought the Italian and German forces in North Africa. There were see-saw battles throughout these years with the British ultimately defeating the Axis forces. Along with dozens of other British vehicles in use was the Tilly. It was used to transport men and materiel from site to site. The Tilly was the little truck that could and was used in all the British theaters of operation.
Designed as a 4x2 Light Utility Vehicle, the Tilly was produced in the tens of thousands for the British military during WWII. © Copyright 2003-2024 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.
