chrismooney Posted August 8, 2009 Author Posted August 8, 2009 Thanks Art!!!!! now I just nbeed to find one...... LOL
Art Anderson Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks Art!!!!! now I just nbeed to find one...... LOL Chris, It actually would be easier and quicker to modify an Ecto-1 from Polar Lights (that kit has the correct stock wheels and tires in it!) as the mods I did weren't hard to do--the flashing red light tubes were done from Evergreen styrene tubing, carved down to a taper, glued in place, and a bit of puttywork. The middle rear quarter window was blanked off with sheet styene, and the cross's were appliqued on with bits of .250"x.020" Evergreen styrene strip stock (they should be foiled after painting, as Miller Meteor plated those cross emblems). The interior tub is an ambulance, albeit only slightly detailed, but then, there wasn't much to add, only an Oxygen tank, a case of splints and first aid bandages, a stretcher, and a gurney--not much there back in those days! The AAM resin kit was pretty rare, not many were sold, perhaps no more than 50-75 of them. Art

But i would like and unfinshed resin casting of one for my collection..... and an history I am writing ....
Aaronw Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 That looks right up Firemodelman Dave's "the tunnel light king" alley to me. If you are hoping for an original good luck, I've seen a few AAM resin kits on ebay and you will need deep pockets.
