Got this a while back when thinking about a diorama.  That idea resurfaced in my annual check of the WIP box.

It's Roden's Vauxhall D Type Ambulance.  It will be placed in a hopefully upcoming diorama of a British Airfield scene.
The kit is very nice, but some of the pieces are as thin as whiskers and break easily when cut from the sprues.  Went ahead anyway and finished in 2 days.

There are no interim photos, unfortunately. Here it is complete, without the destroyed steering linkage.

Hopefully, we'll see a diorama this year.

Awesome! It amazes me how much detail can be crammed into such tiny little kits.
