The 1/35th scale ICM Ford V3000S Maultier ambulance. The kit was built pretty much out-of-the-box--the only additions being a set of MV lenses for the headlights, rear mud guards fashioned from sheet aluminum, Bronco jerry cans and scratch stowage on the roof rack. The kit goes together well as long as care is taken in the assembly of the chassis. Any misalignment there could cause major problems when mounting the shelter.
Tamiya paints were used to finish the model: the Dunkelgelb was a 7:3 mix of XF-60 and XF-2. The red cross markings were airbrushed. Several applications of oil filters were applied by brush and airbrush followed by an airbrushing of thinned Tamiya buff and brushed-on pigments. A final "splattering" with AK Light Mud finished the weathering. Detail on the kit is impressive but there is no interior so you'll have to scratch build one or, do as Dave plans to do, save the effort for the Dragon Opel Maultier ambulance kit that has a complete interior.
Note: This model took 2nd place in the "Softskins" category at the November 2019 Cleveland IPMS contest.
