Shamouti Ben Yafo Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 After a long absence, I'm back; work and health kept me too busy, not in a good way. Now, esteemed Matador enthusiasts; I am trying to put together a decent post-war vehicle (in 1:76 scale) with an excellent upgrade set which includes the interior which I had thought to ignore. As does everyone else! I have trawled books and web, finding nothing. The question? My miniature vehicle will be an example in service in summer 1969. I know that the outside should (and will) be DBG, but inside? I have seen a photo of a cab (RN?) in Eau-de-Nil; is this also correct for Army vehicles? Was the bodywork similarly finished, and was the floor painted or plain wood? Finally, would someone with a late Matador kindly wave a camera about in the back so I can see what went where, and in what form? Thank you all very much.

Shamouti Ben Yafo Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Excellent start! Rear body floor as well? (BTW, what mark Hippo, and when did yours leave service?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, always get them mixed up. Think it was the early one on 1100x20 tyres all round. Think it was cast in the 70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
