Austin K2/Y Ambulance “Katy”
This 85-part kit is our homage the Austin K2/Y Ambulance “Katy” which appeared in the classic British film Ice Cold in Alex. Several vehicles played Katy. We have modelled the Katy seen in most shots. This vehicle was specially constructed by mounting the body and cab of the K2 on the chassis and running gear of a 4x4 CMP truck. We have endeavoured to model this vehicle as faithfully as possible, but there are some inconsistencies between different shots (perhaps different vehicles) which we have been unable to resolve. In addition to the running gear, Katy differs from the standard K2 with alternative front wheels, POW racks, headlamp covers and mis-matched roof vents. She also comes with a starting handle, jack, sand mats, petrol cans, a backpack for your secret radio and one for your gin bottles - everything you need to get across the Qattara Depression. A standard version of the Austin K2/Y Ambulance is also available.
