My models of Danish army lorries have had to wait some time for their license plates. They are now fitted in the appropriate places front and rear on each vehicle.

| My Bedford QLD in Danish army service. The license plate is a 'Skilteskoven' decal. Many of the lorries used by the Danish military in the fifties are available as 1:35 kits. Most can be built out of the box without too many modifications (at least when you are a railway modeller like me!). |
It might seem odd to choose red for license plates on a military vehicle, but the subject has been well researched, so there is no doubt. The Danish army switched to black license plates in 1973. A very
thorough article is available in Danish on the website of the
veteran vehicle section of the Royal Danish Guard Hussars.

| A Chevrolet CMP with generator parked at a tree line. I scratch built the generator and the lorry's rear part. It is not fully confirmed that the Danish army had a CMP with generator, but I liked the looks of the lorry. The rest of the unit's vehicles are probably not parked far away. |
