I have been a member for a while but....Sorry I don’t post here as much, But I spend most of the time a thescalefirehouse.com <not a plug ..

I just wanted to share one of my recent builds. The model is a Johan Cadillac ambulance. The kit is of a 1966 Miller Meteor Cadillac Ambulance. This is a very nice kit w/o and build problems. What I have done to it was Painted it Krylon Banner Gloss Red. The interior was done the same with semi gloss black trim and seats.. all the trim was done with Bare Metal Foil. And the decals are MicroScale emergency vehicles. I used the stock corner emegengy lights with the addition of a Parts Box clear dome beacon in the middle of the roof. A mostly simple OOB build..

Nicely done Chris, I don't know why I haven't built one of those straight out of the box yet. It's such a nice kit especially considering how old it is.

Boy I wish Jo-han was still in business bringing us more subject matter like that. They could have converted the '77 or '78 Deville promo kit into the last of the MM Cadillac Ambulances which I think was called the Lifeliner or something like that. It was much nicer looking then the Superior versions in late 70's

Beautiful job, Chris! You certainly did justice to one of my all-time favorite kits!! Sad to think that the tooling for this most likely ended up being scrapped.

I an surprised no one has casted this in resin and made it a high top ambulance conversion like they did for the ecto one kit and Jimmy Flintstones 59 Superior High Top.. Now thats a nice conversion...

Very nicely done!

One small suggestion: black wash on the grille. It will add a lot to the overall realism. Even though the model is already built, you could still do the grille. Just a thought...

hmmm, I may just have to build a box stock version now. ive got six sitting here, 4 opened , 2 still sealed.

very nice job!

Thanks for the comments everyone,

mademan, its a great kit to build, and even box stock you can add any decals or Emergency lights you want and it will still have the custom look... if you guys like this one wait till you see my 59 Superior Cadillac High Top Ambulance. NOW that one is cherry...
