I wonder if this vehicle is correct for the 1914-1918 period. I got a Keilkraft kit of this thing and these markings look a look easier to do than fine scrollng in 1/72!

Yes, it is correct for WW1.

The War Department purchased and impressed many 5 ton lorries.

The keil kraft kit may need some tinkering, but it is basically correct, and it is the only one available. However there are some die-cast vehicles available also.

Hi, I have posted these before but for those that may not have seen them, two images from a Sentinel Steam Wagon catalogue showing their waggons in war department service.

Señor Fernetti, the February 2011 issue of Military Machines International magazine has a 5-page article on the lorry that you link to at the start of this thread.
