WW2 British Spy Radio (PBR)

The WW2 British Spy Radio, often referred to as the "Paraset" (Parachute Set) or similar covert wireless sets, was a compact and portable shortwave radio transmitter and receiver used by British intelligence and resistance operatives during World War II. It played a vital role in espionage, sabotage, and communication with Allied forces, especially in Nazi-occupied Europe.
Its design was utilitarian and discreet — a small metal or wooden box, often camouflaged as ordinary luggage or household items. Inside, the radio featured minimalist dials, vacuum tubes, and coils, making it simple yet robust enough to be operated under extreme conditions. It usually worked on Morse code (CW), as voice transmission was riskier and bulkier.
The Paraset had a frequency range typically around 3 to 7 MHz, providing enough bandwidth for secure messages to be transmitted over long distances. Its power was often supplied by battery or a hand-cranked generator, ensuring functionality even when electricity was unavailable. Due to the risk of detection by German radio direction finders, messages had to be brief and transmission times minimized.
The 3D model of the WW2 British Spy Radio is a realistic, historically accurate representation that includes the internal components such as tuning coils, vacuum tubes, signal meters, and manual switches, as well as the external casing details like leather handles or wooden knobs. This makes it ideal for use in historical recreations, military museum visuals, or WW2-themed game environments.
