This vehicle paper model is a SAS Jeep, an improvised fighting vehicle, the papercraft is created by Dark Vador. Created during the North African Campaign of World War II, the Special Air Service (SAS) specialised in carrying out hit-and-run attacks, in particular against Axis airfields.
As no vehicle was adapted to this kind of mission, the SAS were forced to build their own. Heavily modified Lend-Lease jeeps became the trademark weapon of the SAS. The windscreens, and sometimes the bumper were removed, in order to save weight and permit an extra payload to be carried.
The radiator grille bars were often removed to allow more airflow to better cool the engine in the hot desert climate. Different weapons arrays were carried, including different combinations of various Browning and Vickers K machine guns according to available supply. The SAS jeeps were used during the whole North African Campaign, and later in Europe, where they were used for sabotage missions behind enemy lines. [Source: wikipedia]
