Manufacturer description

This AEC Matador was used towards the very end of WWII. The cab is decorated in drab olive green and dark grey camouflage effect to the sides with a dark grey roof. The interior is moulded in olive green with a black steering wheel. The canvas back and bodywork are painted in drab olive green with brown camouflage markings and brown roof. The rope 'ties' between the canvas back and the body are cleverly printed in beige to achieve a realistic effect. Another spot of realism is achieved with the rear canopy windows which have been masked to show clear plastic moulding. The rough terrain wheels have olive green inserts and the whole vehicle is mounted on an olive green chassis. Military lettering is printed in white with additional colour to the Battalion shield and vehicle numbering.
