Another 1/48 Tilly Ambulance

[BIG X]

Afternoon All - I just wanted to share this – my latest Tilly Ambulance.  Another quick mojo restorer - which as worked for me.  Just like the Bedford there is no historical accuracy to this build – just a bit more fun with the Red Cross decals.  It is the 1/48 Tamiya Austin 10hp Light Utility Vehicle – lovely little kit to build – though I did manage to knock one of the headlights off and bend the other one.  I also added some wing mirrors from the Bedford kit.  Here she is…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't resist the "penny shot" - these trucks are really tiny - especially if you have sausage fingers like mine...

 

 

...and here she is at The South Downs Flying Club - not after a flying accident I'm guessing - more likely on a mercy mission to deliver some pilots back from The Black Swan Public House.

 

 

...as always - please feel free to offer positive comments or advice.

 

Cheers - Steve

That's very good! The weathering is looks excellent and wash you've added makes the canvas look like material rather than plastic. Looks the part with the hut.

Quite a lovely rendition of an always-challenging monotone scheme. As Gorby noted, the treatment of the canvas is spot-on, both subtle and entirely convincing. Truly a thing of beauty!

Good one. As mentioned - usage very realistic.

Very nice :-) My next project once I finish my current Bedford MWD
