FV18001 Mk 1 80” 4x4 utility

Bedford OYD

Gecko Models 1/35 scale

PREVIEW

Gecko is to release a further version of their FV18001. This as a later production example .

It includes:

• Choice of two tyre tread types

• Choice of canvas cover configuration

Gecko Models will be releasing a 1/35 scale Bedford OYD in May 2025.

This first release, with early Bedford OY features and a wooden body, will be followed in due course by a model which has the features seen on later OYs together with a steel body. These models carry on the commitment to detail, based on personal observation and knowledge and official documentation, shown in Gecko’s Bedford MW series.

This early OY release provides four markings options appropriate to the vehicle primarily based on known IWM photos. All the census numbers for these releases are either confirmed or chosen (where not or only partially visible) from the official “Chilwell list” of B vehicle census numbers.

The model can be built with or without the canvas cover on the load area and includes a driver figure.
