Austin K2/Y Ambulance

[DLH635]

Hi All

I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to ask this, or if it's been asked before.....

I have the Gecko kit; I want to try to make it represent the ambulance featured in 'Ice Cold in Alex' - my question is, can anybody signpost me towards any after market products available in 1/35 to achieve this, i.e.

Are there desert/sand tyres available for the 15/30 cwt truck?
Are there any decals (either generic to enable me to make the needed vehicle serial numbers or hopefully, specific to that particular vehicle??) available?
Are there any 3d figures of the characters available that anyone knows of? (Big hint to any 3d-printing artists out there.....)!!

Hope this makes sense!

Best regards

Darren

I made the Airfix kit of this vehicle for a GB a while back. Research told me they used several vehicles in the film, including an ambulance body on a dodge chassis, so you may need to dive deeper if you are after a vehicle from one particular scene. The Airfix kit has the right decals, even though it’s not listed as one of their colour options. Not sure about the tyres, I ended up going a bit generic on mine. Certainly don’t know of any figures, I couldn’t find any but that was a couple of years ago. Last point is look at references because none of the kits seem to pick up on the anti glare screen painting they used on these in the desert.
