RFI Tamiya British K2 Ambulance ( new tool 2 weeks ago) 1/48 , needs a Carlsberg .

[PanzerWomble]

Launched in Nov, arrived after my pre order . Comes as "green" markingn for airfield dioramas no doubt, but since one of my all time films is Ice Cold in Alex....thats where I'm going . This'll be quick , just a bit of weekend fun .  

 

Not many bitz

 

Wish Airflups desinger's would take note of proper instructions instead of the 100 page nonsense they produce these days .

 

 

 

 

 

Of course it's on in the background ....

 

 

 

She's battered in the film 

 

 

Sylvia Syms was the last of the cast, she died in Jan this year aged 89 . 

 

 

 

Masking stuff as gives me more options later on , plus huge decals often suck / look too perfect IMHO . 

Thats a small model not a huge glass of wine .....no really ....

 

 

Back later

Very nice progress on a brilliant kit.

[PanzerWomble]

Done , typical Tamiya , fit is great, very straightforward to build so you can concentrate on painting and the rest . 

Off for a Carlsberg .

I saw a Youtube review video of the parts and was impressed with the kit.
I am even more impressed with your build, that was quick and well executed . . .

Weathering looks very good  . .

Thank you , it is a nice little build , great for adding some interest to similar scale aircraft . I think the only real mod for me was swapping out the windows for some thinner sheet.

This one went as an a Xmas gift to one of my regulars , TBH I'd forgotten about it. .

That's it Guy you just pound it out to quick never saw it great looking rendition!I wish I could get that comfortable with weathering getting close with the Tempest.

What a Classic!  Beautiful and you are spot on with the markings - a huge decal would not have looked right.  Love how the roundel for the cross is up on the step of the wagon body. A little detail but very cool.
