SimonL Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 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. 37 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 That's brilliant Simon. The Caunter, the red and white and the dusty weathering are all handled well. A top model for your collection.👏👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilspen Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 That is a good looking Ambulance. The colours look good, including the interior. The weathering is excellent, a nice amount of wear and used look. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo rsv Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Very nicely done Simon, I have the Gecko version which I was going to do in the plain old green scheme but now I've seen how good yours looks in the Caunter I think I may have to have a change of plan.

IanC Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Very nicely done Simon. You've nailed the colours and I like the overall dusty look. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Thanks Ian. I actually added a thin layer of diluted Italeri Acryl Sand to the lower parts of the vehicle, particularly the wheels, after the Matt varnish and it really gave me the “look” I was after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
