    I'm not surprised.....I hope they at least refunded him for the display stand..........if I were him, I would have been on them like ugly on an Ape!! Thanks for dropping by Tim and glad you are liking it........my first ever "group" (more than two) build.

      They wouldn’t refund anything....really shoddy practice. Never mind, the shop is now closed and I don’t live there anymore :tired:

        I found more than a few photos to reference the placement of the decals and settled on this arrangement for its originality to the type of vehicle. The diameter is a little bigger than I would have liked but the next smaller size seemed just that......too small for the expanse of sheet metal they were covering. Q&Cs welcome.

            Hi Rick
            Don't they look good :thumb2: nice interiors.

            Agree it is annoying when something you have used for years is suddenly no longer available. Years ago the wife went to the supermarket for some of my favourite strawberry jam. There was none on the shelf. She went to ask at customer services when it would be back in stock. The reply was ....
            "You're the third person to ask about it this morning. As I told the others we have stopped stocking it as there is no call for it."

              Jim, computers will be our downfall..........garbage in garbage out, no matter what anyone says. Thanks Jim and Steve, for the nice comments. there is still some detailing to do inside the open topped vehicle and of course all the exterior lights as well as the weathering.........so plenty to keep me busy and out of the bars.

                Happy thanksgiving Rick. Very jealous of your collection of ambulances. Nice to see the stretchers as well. Beautiful work

                  Thanks Mr. Jones, Still need more detail inside.....not sure what but it looks too "sanitary" if you know what I mean.
                  Glad you like 'em. Rick H.

                    I love your little guys Rick!
                    I can barely see 1/35 scale stuff (why my models are so messy)

                    I'm sure they will look fantastic when you are done.
                    You do that scale MORE justice than it deserves, Bravo to you!

                      Thanks Jim, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to see these little critters but I'll stick with it as long as I am able.
                      Too late and too stubborn to change the game now. LOL:smiling2: Rick H.
