HL-10 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This is the old Italeri kit. For its age it is a decent little model with some fine detail. I used Eduard's etch set to help refine the detail. The folded stretchers are resin ones from Resicast. I added other details using wire, and plastic card and other bits and pieces. I painted the ambulance with Humbrol enamels and rather than use the kits decals for the red crosses, I painted them on. With a couple of figures to give a sense of scale: Thanks for looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Looking at t your builds HL-10 I can see that your skills go beyond the aircraft modeling. The detailing on this Dodge Ambulance is EXEMPLARY. The working mechanism of the ambulance in the rear and front is SPLENDID The weathering is AWESOME.. and the figures just add that real feeling to it.. Nice painting on the figures too.. KUDOS...
