As alway top notch. And I am a sucker for non-standard units.

I dont think I have ever seen a Del Prado ambulance. Were they one piece cab/box?

I don't think there were any. A lot of the Del Prado stuff was 2 piece. It was just wild speculation on my part trying to figure out why they would do this particular model.

I've been digging through some boxes and came across the Del Prado copis of the Code 3 models. It got me thinking. I took a look at the new GL unit and it has all the hallmarks of the DP models. I am wondering if GL got access to molds for models DP never released or had in planning. It wouldn't sur...

The new 2022 is a welcome addition. I have a few projects planned in it. The gap is the 2016-19 versions. Years ago, we might have someone do a resin body to go on the chassis of an existing model. Now a 3D printed might be an option but the costs would be big. Plus I have yet to get a 3D print that...

Here are a couple photos from the Greenlight open house. The 1/25 scale caprice looks pretty good. Hopefully we will see a blank white with wheel and light bar options.

Photo etch would be cool. I know there are a couple 3D print guys who do mirrors for the Greenlight Fords. I was looking at them because one of My Pittsburgh Code 3 ambulances needs one.

I don’t care if it is an emergency vehicle or not. You can post your stuff all day any day. Tremendous model.

I think the Ford Ambulances look pretty good, especially when you remember they are +/- $10 item. The suburban looks like they came out well also. I agree for the price, I am happy with it. It has potential. I do wish it was a more modern unit or not so department specific. But it has potential. An...

What a great haul!! The Suburban does look good. Any sign of the upcoming Suburban ambulance? No there wasn't. There were only a couple tables of prepros shown and all were soon to market models. I will share some more photos as I can. I really didn't take too many. It was more of a warehouse sale ...
