A new tooled kit from Tamiya. It is the British 2-Ton 4X2 Ambulance (Austin K2/Y). A very nice detailed kit, simple to build, and will make a wonderful addition to any 1/48th scale WWII military collection or diorama.
In the Box
This kit has two (2) olive drab colored sprues labeled A & B with 57 parts. Plus, a clear sprue with 4 parts. A driver figure is included within one of the olive drab sprues. The molded detail is exceptional for this scale.
Instructions are 13 steps and printed on a foldout sheet with typical good illustrations from Tamiya.
This is considered a “curbside” build since there is no motor or any interior detail inside the cab. Doors for the cab are molded shut.
Construction
When reading the instructions, especially for the colors, everything is to be painted Olive Green, XF-58, unless otherwise noted.
