HR Beverette Armored Car.

These vehicles were powered by a 12hp motor. The chassis was fitted with a boiler-plate box, lined in front and back with 2 inches of Oak planking as protection against small arms fire. They were armed with a bren gun firing through a slot in the front. Some were fitted with a No. 11 wireless set.  They were used for Airfield defence and Recon training. About 1395 vehicles were built. The 9th Royal Tank Regiment and the 12th Lancers were equipped with these vehicles in June 1940 in the UK. There was a Mark 3 version of this vehicle with a closed super structure and a small turret.

This model replaces the Tmod51, Open Truck. I have dressed the model based on a picture I found of a scale model of this type of Beverette armored car, which I found on the net. I'm not certain if this type was ever used in Iraqu, but very sinular armored cars were used, and I have added the pennant of the Arab Legion, just as a finishing touch.
