Oxford's 1:76 scale Forward Control Land Rover has been on one or two battlefields since its launch, appearing in desert schemes as well as plain green expedition garb. Land Rover manufactured the vehicle exclusively for the British Army, originally as a gun tractor between 1972 and 1975, although its uses have evolved since then. In its latest Ambulance role, it once again reverts to military - but more peaceful - service with the British Army on the Rhine, as deployed in 1990.
It comes dressed in black and olive green drab with the Red Cross graphics on the sides, roof and rear. A blue emergency beacon sits in the centre of the roof above the silver framed split windscreen. The interior is moulded in black. The wheel hubs and bumpers echo the olive body colour scheme and the vehicle carries a military number plate 73 GJ 86. A final detail sees the Union Flag printed on the front wing under the yellow bridge plate.
