BIG X Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Howdy folks - I haven't been around here for a few weeks as I have recently been having a massive amount of fun in the Airfix: The Golden Years GB… https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/626-airfix-the-golden-years-gb/ …however I know a lot of folk don’t tend to look at the group builds – unless it is of special interest to their ‘field of expertise’. The GB is covering all aspects of ‘old Airfix’ which includes a lot of very basic vehicles and the like. So I thought I would pop my vehicle results here - where they might be better seen and in case they are of interest to anyone in the future. I did a couple of K2 ambulances - from the RAF emergency vehicles set. There is lots of controversy over whether the RAF ever actually ever used K2s - so I have pressed them into service with the 11th armoured division - who definitely did. They were built OOB with just lenses for the headlights and a bit of acetate for windscreens. The drivers came from PSC - as the Airfix drivers were more flash than flesh. As always in this area - constructive comment would be very welcome - so here we go... There is a WIP thread - which you can find here... They were a basic build and went together quite well for their age - I hope you like them. It's good to be back - Steve 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to do them again though I would definitely go for the aftermarket wheels that are available and maybe have the back doors open - with couple of patients inside. Thanks for looking and commenting - Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I rushed them a bit and I know they could be better - I'd like to do them again at some point - with the back doors open and some better wheels. Hopefully they will appear in the new 'Classic Airfix' range - at a decent price. On 10/09/2018 at 09:43, Vince1159 said: Blimey how did i miss these two,great job again Big X.....
