“Tempted to use the 4ground rucker wagon as a basic shell instead of the Reoubt general service wagon and then modify it to look like mk2 hospital wagon , have you seen it? “

No I haven’t seen this particular model but it’s got the basic shape required for an ambulance with a few additions to it.
Iron Duke miniatures are going to release some nice mule and horse teams for pulling wagons etc. 4 mules/horses to a team.
Will definitely be purchasing some of these when released.

Send an e-mail to Michael Perry suggesting a range of wagons and pack mules. Sorely needed to my mind.
Best wishes,
Helen

I’ve ordered two of these Rucker wagons from 4ground so will give it a go converting them to AZW ambulances. Not a fan of these kits and not good at putting them together but hey ho nothing to lose. There’s nothing else out there yet so fingers crossed.

Very interested to see how your ambulances go, please can you post pictures!.

Do you have any pictures of the original mk2 ambulances? i struggled to find information about them and only found mk3 pictures until someone kindly sent me an excellent diagram of a mk2! i can send it over to you both if you'd like.

All I can really find is this model made by Britain’s which would be accurate as they research their subjects really well. Yes I wouldn’t mind if you could post those plans of the mk2.
I will post pics of the Ambulances when completed but it might take a little while before I get them done.

Had reply from Michael Perry who has given thought to the making of a General Service Wagon. He hopes to have one made at some point. How long that will be is anyone’s guess !!
