Austin Heavy Twelve-Four - Airways Blue
Brand new Oxford tooling introduces the Austin Heavy
12/4 to the range of 1:43 scale cars from the inter-wars
era. Launched in 1921, it was the second of Herbert
Austin’s post WWI models and until it ceased production
in 1939, over 88,000 were produced. It was initially
available as a Tourer with four seat and two/four seat
styles, both costing £550, as well as a coupe version
which cost slightly more at £675. The car was highly
popular during the 1920s and while the mechanical
specifications did not change very much, there were
several body styles of the ‘Heavy 12’ including a taxi
option which lasted until the end of the 1930s. Body
style variations included the replacement of fabriccovered
‘pram hood’ tops in 1931 and no open cars at
all after 1934. The wheels also had a makeover when the
solid wheels were replaced with wire spoked wheels in

1933. In 1940, the War Department took the last of the
12/4 cars that Austin produced.
Our version, resplendent in authentic Airways Blue,
comes with the ‘fabric’ top and spoked wheels, with
radiator surround and bonnet detail, lights, door handles,
mirrors, wind surround and wheel centres – all commonly
known as ‘brightwork’ - picked out on this model in
polished ‘brass’ finish. Future standard releases on the
Oxford Heavy 12/4 will come in the nickel plated finish.
Other features including the mudguards and running
board are finished in black. Note too, the spare wheel on
the back, as well as one or two ‘extra’ parts on this first
release off the new tool. No wonder this elegant yet
sporty vintage classic attracted over 14,000 of the real
thing being sold in 1927.

Jaguar XK150 Roadster -
Old English White
We announced the newly tooled Jaguar XK150,
and its place in Britain’s history of prestige cars, in the
last issue, with the promise that the Roadster would
follow shortly. Here it is - and splendid she looks too,
with incredible attention to detail!
In Old English White, with red upholstery and authentic
wire wheels, this second release comes as an open tourer
version. In real life, XYH 720 has been immaculately
restored by her proud owner. The highly detailed interior
of our model extends to the intricately reproduced door
panels, dashboard and instrument panel. Note the
handbrake lever, too, which is fitted to the passenger
transmission tunnel. You could almost drive it away!
Bedford CA Ice Cream Van - Mr Softee
In 1957 the Managing Director of Smith’s Delivery
Vehicles (supplier of ice cream vans to Lyons) was
on a sales trip to the United States and saw the
new Mister Softee mobile ice cream operation.
He secured the rights to the Mister Softee ice
cream brand in the United Kingdom, reached an
agreement with Lyons and a joint venture was
formed. The first mobile ice cream vehicle was
launched at the 1958 Commercial Motor
Show, Earls Court. Mister Softee was
run as a franchise operation with the
first vans operating in the South West
London/Kent borders in the Spring of
1959. With an initial cost of £3,200,
a Mister Softee van cost as much as
six or seven conventional Lyons Maid
vans. Mister Softee went from strength
to strength and by 1961 had already
established 34 locations in England and one in
Wales. Lyons knew they had a winner and decided to
take control of the whole business, bringing the whole
Mister Softee operation under the umbrella of Glacier
Foods Ltd, a Lyons subsidiary. Mister Softee by now had
become a Lyons flagship brand with depots nationwide
and franchised operations abroad. Oxford’s evocative
model captures in fine detail a Bedford CA Van in
colourful Mister Softee livery.

Land Rover - Gwynedd Health Authority
The legendary Land Rover was first launched in 1948
and was the brainchild of Maurice Wilks, the Rover
Company’s Chief Engineer at the time. The Series I 88"
versions were manufactured at the Rover factory and
were all petrol engined. The suffix 88" refers to the
wheelbase dimensions. The versatile Land Rover was
used extensively by the emergency services, many
already modelled in the Oxford Diecast range.
This latest version, registered RGC 953, is decorated
in the unusual colour scheme of grey with deep yellow
roof as used by the Gwynedd Health Authority in North
Wales. It features the blue roof light and bell that you
have already seen on previous fire appliance versions and
has the distinctive Land Rover Series I 88" radiator grille.
Note too, the bi-lingual signage on the sides – Welsh on
the offside and English on the nearside and the detailed,
colourful crest on the doors. A new model addition is a
roof board identifying the Ambulance Rescue Service
Land Rover 5-piece Set
This fantastic gift set comprises a
collection of many of the Land Rover
Series I body and wheelbase variations in
the Oxford range across an equally wide
range of liveries of well-known users of
this versatile vehicle. Included in the set
are an 80" Canvas Back version – RAF;

Bedford MWD – Royal Air Force
The third release on the Bedford MWD truck comes in
Royal Air Force livery with ‘canvas’ back and carries RAF
No. 275623 on the side doors and the RAF roundels on
the back. During the years of WWII, the MWD served
in many ways including a general duties truck, personnel
carrier, wireless truck and anti-aircraft gun tractor.
By the end of the conflict, nearly 66,000 had been
supplied for the
British War Office
by the Bedford
Vehicle Company.
AEC Matador Artillery Tractor – Royal Artillery Malta
The Matador, distinctive with its flat fronted cab,
curved roof and rear flatbed covered with
either canvas or tarpaulin tilt, was essentially
an artillery tractor introduced by the
Associated Equipment Company (AEC)
during WWII, when it was used by both
British and Commonwealth forces. With a
length of 20 ft 10 ins, width of 7ft 10 ins
and a height of 9 ft 7 ins, the 4 x 4 Matador
had an average speed of 30 mph. Our
example is as used by the Allied forces
in Malta, a country which was awarded
the George Cross for its defence of
the island against the enemy in WWII.
The Royal Artillery Malta was a transport
wing of the British Army used to help the
British and US forces stationed on the island.

Kittyhawk MkIA as flown by Sqn Ldr Mike Judd, 250
Squadron, RAF in the Western Desert, May 1942
The Kittyhawk was the P-40D version of the US
Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, used by the British and
Commonwealth air forces during WWII campaigns,
particularly in the Middle East and North Africa.
The aircraft was produced as a fighter plane between
1939 and 1944 by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
The Oxford Kittyhawk Mk I is decorated in desert
camouflage and represents the aircraft flown by Sqn Ldr
Mike Judd, a WWII fighter ace with five victories to
his name by the end of the conflict, earning him the
DFC, DSO and AFC. He served notably with 238
Sqn. in the Middle East in 1941, flying Hurricanes
before taking command of 250 Squadron in April 1942,
flying the P-40 Kittyhawk.
In May 1942, Mike Judd led an attack on a large formation
of Luftwaffe transport aircraft heading for Libya from Crete.
He was also escorting a Bristol Beaufighter squadron and
between them, they intercepted twelve Junkers 52 troop
carriers. He successfully shot down two and his squadron
pilots pursued the remainder, with the result that only two
Junkers escaped. Our model commemorates this particular
episode. Mike Judd died on 22nd August 2010, aged 92.

Supermarine Spitfire MkI
Douglas Dauntless SBD-5
The Douglas Dauntless flown by Major Christian C Lee, US,
in the Virgin Islands, in May 1944.
The Douglas Dauntless was a US Navy carrier-borne
dive-bomber manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft
Company at their El Segundo plant. Between its
introduction in 1940 until July 1944 when production
ceased, just under 6000 SBD Dauntless were manufactured.
During this time, the aircraft was the US Navy’s key divebomber
and although slow and somewhat out of date when it
began its combat career, it was rugged and dependable, which
was reflected in its performance against the Japanese shipping,
particularly in the Pacific, where it succeeded in sinking more
Japanese shipping than any other Allied aircraft in WWII.
The Oxford Douglas Dauntless, as flown by US Pilot Major
Christian C Lee, is painted with a dark grey upper with an off
white rear fuselage and underside, both of which feature its
US markings in dark blue and white. An extra detail worthy
of note on this model includes the fine replication of the
extended trailing edge dive brakes – a key feature on the
actual aircraft. The propeller is painted black with yellow tips
and a silver spinner and the exhaust pipes echo realism in
rusty brown!

Me Bf109F Hauptmann Hans Hahn, Gruppenkommandeur
III/JG 2 Richthoven, St Pol, Summer 1941
Messerschmitt Bf 109F, as flown by Luftwaffe Ace Hans
Hahn in the summer of 1941 over France. Decorated
in the grey/green camouflage, distinctive silver and black
markings and with duck egg blue underside, the highly
detailed aircraft shows Hahn’s tally of ‘kills’ on the tail,
as well as his black and red cockerel emblem on the side.
Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn was born in April 1914 at Gotha in
Thüringen and joined the Luftwaffe in 1935. Following
various promotions and action in both the Battle of
France and the Battle of Britain, Hahn’s tally of
‘kills’ had risen to 20 by September 1940 and he
was awarded the Ritterkreuz for his achievements.
A month later, he was promoted to the rank of
Hauptmann and appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG
2. In August 1941, he was awarded the Eichenlaub for
having achieved 41 victories. During his service on the
Western Front, he shot down 66 Allied aircraft before
being transferred to the Eastern Front towards the end of
1942. Hahn had recorded 108 victories by February 1943
when he was shot down by a Russian aircraft and made a
prisoner of war. He was released in 1950 and after a
successful post-war business career, he retired to the south
of France in 1977. Hans Hahn died in 1982 in Munich.

FW Ta 152
The FW Ta 152 was a German
high-altitude, fighter-interceptor,
derived from the Focke Wulf FW 190.
The prefix Ta rather than Fw was a tribute
to the head of the design team, Frank Tank.
The Ta 152 was not introduced until January
1945 and although a bit late in the day,
the aircraft made a great contribution to the
German air defences, even though less than
50 were made before the end of the conflict.
Oberfeldwebel Josef Keil of Jagdgeschwaderstab
JG-301 flew both FW 190s and the Ta 152.
He became one of the great Luftwaffe Aces,
achieving 16 airborne victories before the
end of his career, five of these flying the Ta 152.
It was in this aircraft ‘Green 3’, that he clocked
yet more victories against the Allies over
Alteno, Germany in April 1945. His last ‘kills’
were also in April 1945, this time downing
Russian Y-9 planes over Berlin.
