The original Leyland Retriever was a British three-axle military truck, heavily used during World War II by both the British Army and other Commonwealth forces. These vehicles served as transports, equipment carriers, and as platforms for a variety of specialist body variants. Designed in the late 1930s and early 1940s, they saw extensive service on various World War II fronts, including the African campaign, the Italian campaign, and operations in Western Europe. The AVON wheels included in this set were a typical type of tire used on these vehicles.

The Panzer Art RE35-684 set includes precisely detailed road wheels, cast using advanced resin techniques. These are far more detailed than the standard plastic components found in conventional kits, faithfully capturing the tread pattern, tire sidewall lettering, and unique features of the original rims. The product requires self-assembly and painting with model paints, giving the modeler the opportunity for individual finishing and customization to suit a preferred historical variant of the Leyland Retriever.

We highly recommend this set to all modelers interested in WWII Allied vehicles who wish to enhance their models with authentic detail and increase the realism of their work. This set is ideal for both intermediate and experienced modelers looking for professional aftermarket upgrades.
