Dragon 1/35 German Ambulance Truck Kit

A new German medical vehicle has joined the ranks of Dragon's much loved ’39-’45 series. The new kit represents a 4x2 ambulance based on the famous German 3-ton truck range, which was used for myriad purposes by German soldiers during WWII. Indeed, underscoring its importance, by 1944 some 70,000 4x2 trucks had been produced, along with at least 25,000 additional 4x4 trucks. The ambulance version featured a box body installed behind the standard cab to carry lying or seated casualties for medical evacuation. This new Ambulance Truck shares the highly accurate cab and chassis of Dragon’s existing 1/35 kit of the German 4x2 cargo truck. Likewise, the rear ambulance body is borrowed from the Maultier Ambulance kit. It includes a delicate access ladder on the rear, while the rear door opens to reveal an outfitted ambulance interior. New parts added to the mix are stowage boxes located under the box body. This stunning 1/35 scale kit fully lives up to the latest contemporary standards. Furthermore, the widely used German ambulance can be depicted in any theater and time period of WWII, giving modelers unlimited options for painting and weathering.
