Airfix Landrover Ambulance

 Another recently completed addition to my ever increasing cold war collection.


A very tidy kitset, no flash, with well defined parts that went together without any problems



I went for option 'B'doors closed


Vallejo colours, the base coat this time being 70888 'Olive Grey', followed by my usual wash + drybrushing method



A couple of minor issues with the decals but we got there in the end


Have since put the glass in for the side windows too



Eventually I'll get some troop carrier versions of this vehicle as well. Might use ambulances in a CD3 CW campaign but otherwise it is really just for looks

  1. Very good Al. I would have thought this would have made a nice Comms wagon.

    The lighter colour base works well.

  4. Aww...really loved the old 'one tonnie' - we used them up to the early nineties when I served as a 81mm mortar section commander - great times!
