History:
The Bedford MWR FFW (Fitted For Wireless) was the radio command version of the ubiquitous Bedford MW truck, a 15-cwt 4×2 vehicle introduced into British Army service just prior to World War II. Designed to fulfil the mobile communications needs of field units, the MWR variant featured a purpose-built wooden body housing multiple wireless sets, signal equipment, and space for radio operators.
These vehicles were critical for coordinating troop movements and relaying vital battlefield information between forward positions and higher command. The MWR often operated with collapsible aerial masts, generator units, and long-range signal capability. It saw widespread use in campaigns across Europe, North Africa, and Asia, often attached to divisional HQ units or signals regiments. Gecko Models’ 1/35 scale kit offers a highly detailed representation of this important command asset, complete with interior fittings and exterior stowage options, perfect for a wide range of WWII diorama scenarios or standalone display.
