From the sprue shots, no interior or opening rear doors 
Still going to get one on order though
Nice! I’ll get one. Suits well to my RAF aircraft … 
Odd they didn’t do an interior, even the old 1/76 Airfix kit had an interior. However they do provide a driver, which is something I’ve always liked about Tamiya, there’s always a driver or other figure with all their kits. I always think a vehicle without attendant figures doesn’t give a true idea of scale, or give the vehicle a “life” as it were.

Usual poor and superficial Tamiya research on British markings - they never seem to learn- means that you will have to find correct markings from another source. Not easy in 1/48 scale.
Also despite the (Army marked) K2/Y being shown on the boxart with a Lancaster in the background, the RAF didn’t actually use these till after the war, preferring the AM463 and Fordson WOT1 alternatives.
The USAAF did use Reverse Lend-Lease K2/Y’s, so one will find its way to my collection of RAF/USAAF Airfield vehicles
