Various new releases
Husband and wife team Patrick and Chris Adams – the beating heart of The British Toy Soldier Company (BTSC) – are set to delight their customers with some exciting new releases and reissues.
First up is a brand new 1:32 scale model of a World War I vintage British Thornycroft military truck. The three-ton Thornycroft was powered by a four-cylinder, 6,256cc petrol engine that could develop around 45 brake horsepower. It was rear-wheel drive with a four-speed gearbox.
More than 5,000 were delivered to the British military during the Great War and some vehicles remained in British Army service until 1930.
This story is from the August - September 2020 edition of Toy Soldier Collector International.
