King & Country - Austin Light Utility (RAF version)

Review taken from 'New Releases Part 2'

Back in August King & Country, the company who could arguably be awarded the title of the hobbies most prolific manufacturer, launched itself into a new range entitled ‘Spitfire Summer’. This stunning new series is designed to represent the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a time when Britain stood alone, with only the ships of the Royal Navy and a handful of Spitfires and Hurricanes left to stand up to the might of the Nazi war machine.

This new series features a model of the iconic British fighter plane the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 1, a number of new ‘ace’ pilot figures, several ground personnel and the RAF airfield version of the Austin K2 Ambulance. However it’s not these earlier (August) releases I wish to cover (considering the Spitfire was only 750 worldwide it’s not doubt already sold out!).

The latest add-on to the Spitfire Summer series is a stunning model of an Austin Light Utility vehicle (RAF version). The set, limited to just 250 pieces worldwide, includes a detachable rear canvas (effect) canopy and seated Women’s Auxiliary Air Force driver. The model is well detailed with subtle touches such as the mud splattered arches and sills along with the RAF identification.

In standard K&C 1:30 scale expect to pay £102.95/$99 if you want to add one of these limited edition pieces to your airfield display!
