KFS 1:24 Land Rover Series 2A Ambulance

[Julien]

Just noticed today that KFS now have this not so little beauty ready and available to order, and yes I took the plunge.

 

Not cheap but well worth it I think.

 

 

 

Photes from KFS's web site.

 

BTW great customer service from then when ordering.

Oh I do so like the look of KFS' stuff.  And in a scale my eyes can actually see............

 

However, the blue beacon is a bit of a let-down.  In that scale I would have expected to see the rotating reflector mechanism inside, and it's a bit pale apart from being very empty.  Likewise, bulbs inside the rear lights and indicators are noticeably missing.  And those light covers had 4 prominent "ears" as grip for unscrewing.  But I pick nits ..............

 

An RAF airfield or Mountain Rescue one with the brush bar, 2-tones etc would be nice.  St John had some of these too.

I've ordered a few bits from KFS in the past 18 months, always excellent service & really helpful on the phone or email. Oh & the Landy looks very smart.

[Julien]

Its arrived, and it looks great to me. As mentioned they are supergood on the phone, told me when it would be posted and delivered when I made the order.

 

 

I have 3 KFS kits now and while not cheap you do get what you pay for.

I still have 3 KFS kits in my stash also, just finishing the Ferret and about to start the half ton lightweight Land Rover.

 

Now when I drove these Land Rover Ambulances in BAOR and Northern Ireland I recollect all the side and rear windows were tinted black...............possibly a black marker pen may get you out of trouble.  Does Howard mention in his instructions that they should be tinted?

[Julien]

All the ones I have ever been in also had tinted windows on the body, so it is something I will do.

 

i am intending to put this and the 432 together as a representation of vehicles from 1 ADFA which my dad was in for many years after 28 & 29 Field Ambulances were merged.
