Manufacturer description

The VW is given a different role with this latest Oxford release which comes in a camouflage scheme from Down Under, as used by the Australian Army Careers section. The two-tone green, black and dark beige paintwork is offset by the white lettering on the sides with the slogan 'Army Careers - Talk to a Soldier'. A tooling modification sees the model with white roof boards along the length of the both sides with black lettering. The detail extends to a red out of white number plate and additional military graphics on the front beneath the bay window. This release should appeal to VW enthusiasts as well as providing an unusual addition to any military collection.
