ranma Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I got the kit from a friend, And I got the idea of making it into a Mayfair Ambulance. I'm planning on using tape between the outer doors and door panel's to hinge the doors from the body. I glued the hinges only to the body, and waited for the glue to dry. I then cut the hinges along the door seam's. I have painters tape holding the doors on to the body for the pictures.

ranma Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Update pictures: Body in paint, Roof not glued on. The back doors are shown as what they will look like closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Looking good! I had a similar plan in my head for this kit once I get one. Mine might be done in a city fire department color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Like it so far,any plans to add any period ambulance pieces inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Getting closer to getting the ambulance done. Made the bench and cabinet out of evergreen sheet plastic. The "gurney" Stretcher is from a JoHan Ambulance kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranma Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Well It's almost done, waiting of a few items to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Before anyone say's anything "yes" the rear doors still open and close, I just didn't open them for these updated pictures 7/20/17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This is a unique concept but not at all unrealistic. I like the colors and the painted grille and hub caps.. and the panel behind the grille is even white like it should be.Lots of work opening those rear doors I'd bet - and the fit is good when they are closed. Nice work Rick.. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
