NFIC 3" Army Mini-Trucks HP Pt 2 Ambulance

This ambulance is a nice addition to the Army mini-trucks and is much closer to HO scale or 1/72 scale than the soft plastic Kleeware knock-offs I had been posting which were only 2" (5.08cm) L. I don't know what actual prototype vehicle this was modeled after - and I really don't feel like trying to research it  - sorry, sometimes I just get too tired to expand on my efforts (old age)! The red cross on the roof of the vehicle is worn but still visible after all these years. The ambulance measures: 3" (7.62cm) L x 1" (2.54cm) W x 1.125" (2.85cm) H. I mentioned in the previous post that this batch of vehicles I bought had issues. This truck has a wonky left side and rear end - as if it had been exposed to heat. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

  1. Hello Ed, this looks very much like a civilian-style 1959 Daimler ambulance but in military colouration.

    1. Awesome! Many thanx for the info Robert!!! I have two Renwal ambulances in soft plastic which look just like this - one is silver and the other is military OD - both of which have been blogged. As for showing up as 'anonymous' all I can think of is, regardless of what type of device your using (smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC), if you're not signed in to Google you'll show as anonymous.
