Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

Crew bench is in and once the glue sets I'll carefully sand down the stubs of the legs that are poking through the bench top. The last piece to go in will be the stretcher rack on the bulkhead, in the stowed position, behind the bench. Still need to locate the front and rear axles and fill and louvre the side panels on the hood. as well as a few other small exterior details.

Phenomenal!
Coat please....

Not much to report, just working on the railing for the roof rack. I have all the easy steps done, now it is a matter of bringing it all together at the back end. Once I have it glued in place, I can carefully fill the joints and sand it to its final configuration. The photo, (for ref. only) shows what I am aiming for in the completed detail. I know this is a little bulky but it's the closest I could come and it even has the fore and aft curved top to the railing.

Most impressed.

Thanks John, just trying to get it "close" to the real thing. Helps me sleep better at night!

[Ernie]

Well, last week was kind of chilly, but this week we have busted out the heat, in the 80’s this week. Funny cuz some of the bigger lakes still have weather advisories for cold water temps, some still in the 50’s. Otherwise pretty nice though.

Thanks for the update. :thumb2:

Just leaving our daughter’s in Manchester, 91 deg. Hour ride home, then immeadetly off to work. Which is gonna suck cuz they are moving some new machines into the shop and the ginormous door will be open all day so will be hotter than heck inside

Coming along beautifully. Interesting fender step next to spare.

Thanks Paul, yes and there's another at the lower front corner right below the door line. Gonna go with etched brass tread plate for those. :thumb2:

Currently finishing up the roof rack railings will post a pic when completed.

Hi, sorry for the long pause, have been pulled away from the bench to tend to "outside" chores and other "distractions". As you can see, the dreaded roof rack is now complete and glued in place and the crappy grill work on the side panels of the hood have been filled and sanded smooth, ready for the louvercals to be stuck on down the road. Still scratching my head on how I am going to protect the inside of this crate once all the inside walls etc. are painted white and detailed. I might have a try with a piece of foam, I have seen some on the forum use it pretty effectively.

Comming along nicely! :thumb2:
