davevw Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'd really like to make an ambulance model of one I work in. does anyone know of an ambulance kit that would be a good start? I want to make one with a ford cab and crestline box. I have had trouble finding an ambulance kit, let alone a specific one, so if anyone has ideas as to where to start If I make it from scratch. I have yet toscratch build anything and this would be a great experience to learn Thanks, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dean Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi Dave, Is this the kind of thing you're after? http://www.ipmsusa3.org/reviews/Kits/First_Looks/ssb_24_fdny-ambulance/ssb_24_fdny-ambulance.htm It may need some modifying but will be a lot easier than starting from scratch. Also there are hundreds of accessories available to fill it up with if you wanted to have the doors open, have a look here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=model+ambulance+accessories&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=model+ambulance+parts&_sacat=0 Hope it helps Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrGlueblob Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you want a premade box, look up Hendrix Resin online. He sells a great casting in 1/25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
