Airfix - Austin K2/Y Ambulance - 1:35
Product Code:
A1375
One of the most famous vehicles of its type, the
Austin K2/Y Ambulance was used extensively by British and
Commonwealth forces throughout WWII, both in the combat zones of the
world and on the home front. Built around the chassis of the Austin
K30 light truck, the casualty compartment was developed in
conjunction with the Royal Army Medical Corps and therefore proved
to be highly functional. Able to carry either four stretcher cases
or ten seated casualties, one of the main reasons why the K2/Y was
so successful was because it was so rugged and reliable, requiring
only a minimum of maintenance - an ambulance should always be ready
when you need it.
