The ancient regiment of the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars was a cavalry regiment in the British Army, dating back to 1693. It also fought as part of the British Army from 1801 to 1958. The Regiment was nicknamed the Cross Belts because of the regimental dress, which also included the distinctive 'tent' cap. Latterly the regiment was one of three which were amalgamated to become the 7th Armoured Division familiarly known as the 'Desert Rats'. The model is based on a Dingo Scout Car that would have been part of the British Army convoys pressing on through Germany towards the end of WWII. In drab olive green with white regimental lettering/numbering, note particularly the regimental insignia featuring the little red rat in a white circle on the rear of the vehicle. Added detail includes the brown straps to the fuel cans and the 'rusty' brown exhaust pipes.
