76VWB012 Oxford Diecast VW Beetle WRAC Provost

WRAC – the Women’s Royal Army Corps was the corps to which all female Army personnel once belonged, having been setup just after World War II on 1st February 1949.  It was the successor to the former ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) which had done such sterling work during the conflict.  The Corps served in post-war Germany and it is here that our little 1:76 scale replica of the VW Beetle is stationed.

Our Army styled Beetle is dressed in the military deep bronze green to the body with silver lines to it.  The deep green colour also extends to the roof, bumpers and wheel surrounds/wheel centres. The running boards are black and the vehicle interior is pale grey.  Registered with an Army number plate 79 XH 92, the model also displays a colourful military crest with the Union Flag and Corps numbering on both the front and the back.  For this release, note the addition of a WRAC Provost signboard fixed above the front number plate.

This latest VW Beetle should appeal to both collectors of the VW marque, as well as 1:76 scale military vehicle enthusiasts..
