Hi Paul,

There are two walk-arounds here on site, plus reviews on the Accurate Armour 1/35 scale and 1/48 scale vehicles.

Cheers

there is also an ancient Airmodel Vacform in 1/35th with basic drawings, & the even more ancient 1/72-1/76th-ish AirFix kit.

Sites like blueprints.com may have drawings, but quality is very variable.

What are you planning & what scale?

Been reading up on this, according to a film website, Katie had a stunt-double, AND a few RAMC stand-ins, so any which way is good!
Just remember the Carlsberg!

This thread seems to give a definitive answer to the K2 modifications adopted.
