Oxford Diecast Tripoli, Libya AEC Matador Artillery TractorThe Matador was a typical AEC vehicle of the period, with flat fronted cab to accommodate the crew of one, a curved roof and a canvas backed rear load area. It was a 4 x 4 vehicle with an AEC 7. 6 litre engine and a speed of around 30 mph. The British military saw the AEC as an essential vehicle during World War II and it saw service in many roles both during and after the conflict. RAF Idris was an RAF base between 1943 and 1966.

The Matador was a typical AEC vehicle of the period, with flat fronted cab to accommodate the crew of one, a curved roof and a canvas backed rear load area.   It was a 4 x 4 vehicle with an AEC 7.6 litre engine and a speed of around 30 mph.  The British military saw the AEC as an essential vehicle during World War II and it saw service in many roles both during and after the conflict. RAF Idris was an RAF base between 1943 and 1966. The station was used during the War as a convenient base for several squadrons involved in the desert war. Afterwards, the RAF used it for military manoeuvres in the neighbouring desert. The British Forces left in 1966 when Libya became a republic. At that point, the station became Libya’s Idris Airport before ultimately being renamed Tripoli International Airport.

 This 1:76 scale AEC Matador model, features in a simple black and white chequered colour scheme, including a white roof and black wheels, as used by the RAF Desert Rescue Team in North Africa. The RAF roundel is printed on one side of the flat front and RAF Idris is printed on the side doors.  Registered 77 AE 11, its purpose is also highlighted by the Desert Rescue wording above the windscreen. On this model too, note the addition of a spotlight on the front of the roof above the signage. Additional external masking is finished in silver while the interior is moulded black with black steering wheel.

 After WWII, the Matador continued in a useful role as a recovery truck and general-purpose contractor vehicle. As a 4 x 4, its versatility saw it also used for off-road jobs and even saw service as a showmans vehicle. You’ve seen many of these different AEC Matador uses replicated in the Oxford ranges in both military and civilian guise.

Scale

1:76 scale means that this is 76 times smaller than the full sized vehicle(s)

High quality polo
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Can’t beat this price and quality. With mainstream polos is going for about $80. This is a steal for the same quality. Fits good. Price is nice. Keeps me dry the golf course.

Nice Stylish Midweight Jacket
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Grey, Size: Medium
I ordered this jacket because I wanted something with a little my style to wear out to dressy casual occasions. This jacket fits the bill. It looks nice in that it's got a casual laid back feel but at the same time you could wear over a collared shirt and it would look good. I am 5'10" and about 165 lbs. I normally wear somewhere between a medium and large depending on the brand. I ordered a medium and it fit well. The arms and body were both the right length, not too short like some other jackets. The reason I took 1 star off was because this is advertised as a winter puffer jacket and I wouldn't really call it that. It is a mid weight jacket that can get you by in southern winters but anything really cold I wouldn't wear this. Plus it's not a "puffer" jacket. It just has a minimal quilted feel to it but most of it is just a polyester glossy sweatshirt feel.

Maelreg Does It Again
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Medium
I just wrote a review for another Maelreg product. They're all good! lol 21st century fabrics are here to save us! ;) This one is also really well made. I love the fit and feel. It's perfect for those mild fall/spring days where an extra layer of windproof protection is just really handy. The arms aren't insulated, so it's great for active outdoor ventures. I use mine for jogging over a poly/blend wicking tee. It lives at the office where I sometimes need a stylish overcoat in the A/C freezing office. I bought a size M for my 5'10" 175 lb. frame and it fits perfectly. Just long enough to sit at the top of my glutes. The front of the jacket has a nice contrast/sheen that you don't see everywhere, it's a nice style addition. The poly blend fabric adds a nice degree of flex to the fit, it's comfortable under a heavy overcoat or over a light thermal layer. Super easy to launder on cold/low, and really low temp iron to rid it of those packaging wrinkles, and its easy care forever. Great product at a really nice price point, all things considered.
