Historical Background:

The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) played a crucial role in reconnaissance, intelligence-gathering, and raiding missions deep within Axis-held North Africa during the Second World War. Operating far from supply lines and formal infrastructure, these elite troops were known for their ingenuity, endurance, and desert navigation skills. This second crew set from Thunder Model expands the range of desert soldiers available for modelling, capturing the varied gear and relaxed yet prepared attitude typical of LRDG patrolmen in the field.
