Oxford has finally released this Army Matador only Nine months late, there are three more military Navy and Air Force and a number of civilian models, I am not holding my breath for when these will appear 1:76

They had a bunch of these on show at Nuremberg, if I remember correctly - so hopefully they should be out soon. They might be visible in some of the pics from the Nuremberg report on Oxford Diecast.


As a total aside, it is interesting how very diverse vehicles can have the same names. I didn't actually know this was called a Matador, when I saw this thread title and clicked on it, I thought it would be about the AMC Matador!

I love the AEC matador, must be my favourite truck of all time, ever since building the Airfix version back in the 70's.


I have a code 3 planned and been looking for a base model for this I saw at a truck show some years back, will certianly be looking at the OD one's now

Nice one Peter, you borrowed the load of the Matchbox DAF pipe truck?

Re: Matador first of many 11 months ago #7

Yep the Leyland pipe truck, the DAF was the girder truck

I like the detail in the crane hoist. Does it work or is it static.

Re: Matador first of many 10 months, 2 weeks ago #11

Very nice model, love the crane.

the filaments holding the crane hooks are as fine as sewing cotton and not as chunky as they appear in the close up photo it is after all 1:76 the crane is static

Super detail on this one, these are the ones you watch and enjoy and see more details every time

I wasn't sure if it was molded or not as the photo look so so real.
