Oxford Diecast Dorchester ACV 8th Armoured Division 1941 - 1:76 Scale

Product Code: 76DOR001
2 reviews |
£13.95

The AEC ACV (Armoured Command Vehicle) was one of a series of such vehicles built by the British Associated Equipment Company during the Second World War. Such vehicles were essentially armoured buses based on truck chassis and the UK was the only country to develop and widely employ this purpose-built armoured command form of transport. Just over 400 were built in all for use by the British Army and carried the facility for a single .303 Bren light machine gun which was carried inside. The ACV was big and comfortable, as a result of which the troops nicknamed it Dorchester after the luxury hotel on Park Lane in London.
To launch this piece of new tooling, Oxford has decorated the ACV in a dark green/dark grey camouflage scheme as used by the 8th Armoured Division in 1941. The chassis and wheel hubs are also dark green. The Division's military number is printed on both sides of the cab and across the back. They have also named their truck Hermann, printed boldly in red on the bonnet, while additional military numbering appears on the front and rear mudguards. One final detail comprises the authentic 'rivets' on the vehicle, which are shown up to great effect by the dark colour scheme.

    Fills a gap in the AEC Collection

    Very underwhelming and not value for money. Considering the upper structure is just a bland “box” you would think more care would have been taken with the chassis detail. If you want to see what I mean look at your Airfix Matador tooled up 55 years ago! The front axle detail (which shows on display) is a travesty, even the differential casing is just a pathetic blob. Sorry, you market this as a collectible MODEL not a toy and is very poor value for money Hornby!
