SlackbladderVery nice, just think if they'd had some windscreen wipers they could have at least cleaned the screen...
JeroenThanks guys! Yeah those wipers, you know I actually don't know if they weren't supplied with the kit or that I just plain forgot them!
Album info
This is ICM's 1/35 V3000S Maultier German Ambulance. This scheme with the white unit and bonnet attracted me, according to the instructions this is a vehicle for late 1944 in Poland. I went full on dirty because of that. And admittedly also because I like doing that. I didn't use the kit decals for the red crosses because only the ones for the sides were supplied. Which is strange, as the box art clearly shows the cross on the bonnet and a part of the one on the roof. I made stencils with my Silhoutte cutter and painted all the crosses instead. The kit's roof rack was replaced with a scratch built one. I added some cans from the spares box, everything else is box stock. There's no interior for the unit supplied with the kit but all the doors are separate items so I guess you could go all out on this one if you wanted to. There's an engine as well but it lacks a bit of detail, I didn't do anything with it. A fun kit to build, some minor annoyances like always but I'm happy with the result. You just have to have respect for guys that drove around in thin skinned vehicles like this, racing around trying to save lives.
