BIG X started following UK PRICE FOR GECKO 1/35 WW2 BRITISH AMBULANCE K2/Y KATY £39.99 RRP
-
Amazing!!!! Well done to everyone involved
-
Wow - that is a lot of bang for a few extra bucks... • Accurate Trakgrip general purpose tyres • Three different headlight types (with blackout masks as appropriate) • Optional furled and unfurled cab side curtains • 6 stretchers (4 plus 2 folded) • 4 folded blankets and 4 correct British Army pattern stretcher pillows • Optional standard and extended exhaust pipes • Optional early (w/o sling rings) and late (w/ sling rings) wheel hubs • Optional roof ventilators • Optional wing mirrors • Driver figure (including rifle for RASC drivers) • Optional high/low stretcher/seat configurations for rear bay • Optional folded internal curtains • Optional jerrican/2 gallon can carriers • Optional early fabricated and late pressed steel spare wheel cover panels I am liking the sound of the optional roof ventilators / the furled cab side curtains look rich in detail / a proper photo etched grill is a step up - roll on summer

LOL - if Accurate Armour release updates that are anything like the quality of their own kit then god help us!!! I binned 2 of their K2/Y kits because I couldn't get 1 decent model out of the pair. The biggest waste of £200 you have ever seen. Smashed / bent / snapped / full of holes - rubbish. OK - rant over - I'll get my coat

I agree - it's very disappointing. On the web launch at the beginning of the month - when it came to vehicles - they had a picture of the KATY up on the wall - but no mention of it & no test shot on the display stand. It was originally planned for Autumn 2021 - now it's summer 2022. I think they are going to lose out big time to Gecko - it's a shame.

Well Done Ted!!! You have certainly made the best of a tricky job.

That box shot has been floating around since July - According to my good friend @badger - the wheels are off a Tamiya LRDG vehicle
