I have that old kit and always wanted to build it, but I was hoping to find more reference material so I could see how it looks inside and out. Isn't the vehicle Tamiya based the kit on in a museum somewhere? Thanks.

Your link is to a newer model than the Tamiya kit but presumably the color scheme inside and out would be identical?

I guess so...Here's an ex-RAF Series IIA-based ambulance with a similar scheme :

Talking about the one on the SVSM website, I think it could be in fact a late Series IIA model (considering the ID features I've found here : http://www.lrfaq.org/FAQ.2.Ident.LR.html

Yes, the new pictures are definitely helpful. The Tamiya kit is first generation.

WIsh they'd bring that kit back, preferably retooled. For its age it's nice.
