Very interesting

Kret
Do you have photos of the interior? Great project.

Alex K
Łukasz, Kret, thank you very much for your interest, gentlemen. Kret, no, unfortunately not, this is the only photo known to me, along with its verso, with a hand-written dedication dated 1946 - it appeared on an eBay auction ages ago. My understanding is that this was just a utility vehicle (not an ambulance), so I won't bother particularly with the interior. Hopefully, more Red Cross vehicles from the 1940s in Greece (GMC, CMP...) will be added in this collection.

Interesting...
I'm curious to see the differences between ACE's Tilly and Airfix's one.

Alex K
Me too, Cuajete - I still have to purchase the Airfix RAF vehicle set. They are of course different vehicles: the Ace kit offers the Austin Tilly (the one offered by Tamiya in 1:35 and 1:48), whereas Airfix's is the Standard Tilly. For now, all I can say is that Ace's is a short-run kit: soft plastic, no small amount of cleaning needed etc. I am NOT complaining, I'm glad there are kits of such subjects available in 1:72 - all I'm saying is that perhaps I should have waited a bit, gaining experience with more mainstream kits, before tackling this.

Working on Airfix Tilly from time to time and well it has nice details, but it's bit complicated if you ask me. What mean in particular, are the windows and door masking. Still probably better than ACE 😉

Cuajete
Fantastic... I thought the Tillys from Airfix and ACE were the same. I didn't notice it. Here I can see the differences between both models (This not are these kits):

Łukasz, many thanks for your information 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks for comparison pic Señor 😉 The ACE one is not that handsome, I'm gonna stick to Airfix 🙂

Cuajete
I already have both, Łukasz 😄
