The story behind the sand-yellow Land Rovers
The Camel Trophy sent crews through remote off-road routes where mud, river crossings and rough terrain put teamwork and driving skill to the test. The Land Rovers became instantly recognisable in their Sandglow yellow finish. FMS recreates that look across four officially licensed 1:24 models, each with its own body shape and scale details. Together, they make a miniature expedition convoy.
What makes the FCX24M Camel Trophy Edition special?
Expedition details in a compact hard body. The sand-yellow finish and details such as roof racks, mirrors and spare wheels give the crawlers their period look. Underneath, metal chassis rails support the compact 4WD platform. You can display the models together or take them out and see how their proportions affect the way they tackle the same obstacle.
Two gears for different parts of the trail. Use low gear to ease the front wheels onto a rock or line up for a narrow bridge. Shift into high gear on the open stretches between obstacles. On a small course, a short climb and a loose-gravel section are enough to give both gears a job.

A natural pick for tight tabletop courses.Defender 110135 mmThe longest body of the four, with the proportions of a full expedition wagon. A good fit for a scale convoy or a larger trail layout.Discovery134 mmThe tall, stepped roofline sets it apart. Its 55° departure angle is the highest of the four, useful when dropping off a ledge.Range Rover134 mmThe classic Range Rover profile and the lineup’s steepest quoted approach angle at 64°, useful when meeting an obstacle head-on.
Build your own miniature Camel Trophy course
Start with a short rock climb, a narrow timber bridge and a descent into loose gravel. Drive it in low gear and see if you can finish without touching a boundary. If you have two models, run them back-to-back over the same route and see where each one needs a different line.
