Fenlander's Hummer IDF Ambulance

[Guest]

Hi guys, sorry I am late but I have not been anywhere near the bench since the dogs chewed my kits up before Christmas!!!!

Anyway, my intended build is the Academy Maxi Ambulance converted to IDF (Israeli Defence Force) Using the Legend resin conversion set and Blast resin wheels with the 'Aggressive Tread Pattern and new style rims'

The basic kit:













The Blast Resin wheels





And the Legend Resin conversion set







Hope to get started before, or at, the weekend.

Oh yes, but they had better not get near this kit lol :knight:

Cheers guys, I hope I can make a good job of it, seems ages since I actually finished a kit, might be a bit rusty but we will give it a go

[Guest]

A fair bit of progress today, more than I expected to be honest lol

First up, the chassis





Then the first bit of resin, the bonnet/hood grill is a different pattern on the IDF version so the original had to be cut out and the resin one fitted





Next up is the floor pan





Then a start on the bodywork. There will have to be some internal detailing in here as I am leaving the back doors ope. There is a full interior including stretchers but it needs a bit of pipe lines putting in for electronics, oxygen lines etc. Need to do a bit more research on that. There is a floor to be put in as well. I need to step back a bit now to decide how far I can go without making it so I cannot paint or detail the inside but have the bodywork as much built as possible.

Thats a nice start Graham.

The chassis and floor pan seems to be common to the one i have to build, nice to see how it should look before i start on it
