History

The Garford-Putilov armoured car was a formidable heavy vehicle used by the Imperial Russian Army during World War I. Equipped with a 76.2 mm gun and multiple machine guns, it required a range of tools and spare parts to maintain operational readiness in the field. Side-mounted stowage boxes provided a practical solution, keeping essential gear secure yet accessible. After capturing several Garford-Putilovs, German forces often retained these storage features, using the vehicles for security and patrol duties. The stowage box thus became a feature not only of Russian service but also of the unique history of captured armoured cars, offering modellers an opportunity to represent diverse operational contexts.
