    Here I present my go at the Airfix K2/Y Ambulance. In a rush of blood to the head I decided to attempt the Caunter Scheme, which I replicated using Tamiya mixes for the Slate and Silver-grey, and Vallejo Model Air Portland Stone. The interior rear cabin was painted with Italeri Acryl Middle Stone, which I have since discovered is not period correct. Weathering was with various Vallejo Model Washes. As always brush painted. A reasonably straight forward build, however rather a lot of ejector pin marks and a few fit issues. Build log can be found here: One photo in black and white: And finally, it’s not a Carlsberg glass, but it’s close enough in shape, and my footy team had a very good win last night. Thanks for looking.

    Moving on to my next project, a break from tracked vehicles. The Airfix K2/Y just popped up in my local hobby shop, so I grabbed one. They also had the Gecko kit, but after a few challenging builds I fancy a bit of break! I won’t waste space with a bunch of sprue shots, as that has been covered well elsewhere. I have decided to have a go at the Caunter scheme, hopefully a bit more straight forward than the Stuart I did last year. I have the paints in stock, Vallejo ModelAir for the Portland Stone and my attempts at the Starmer mixes in Tamiya acrylics. I had a look at the instructions for the Gecko kit on Scalemates (one of the reasons I decided on the Airfix kit - too much photoetch for me!), and noted that the colour callout suggests middle stone for inside of the rear cabin, rather than cream or white. This would align with a rather nice article I found concerning a restoration of a K2/Y here in Perth WA (see https://www.keymilitary.com/article/helping-hands). I have some Italeri Acryl middle stone, which I think will do. Perhaps not strictly accurate, but anything that avoids me having to brush paint a really pale colour…
