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

Andy Gard Army Ambulance

I blogged the Andy Gard RC Armored Truck No. 82-20 back in Feb of 2023 and meant to continue with the remaining few Andy Gard vehicles in the collection, but....

...yeah 'but'! It never happened - until now. This year has been about documenting vintage space figures - like astronauts and aliens - but it's also been about catching up with long overdue posts. I've got soooo many photos of things - sometimes photos dating back years - that never saw the light of day here on Toys and Stuff and the next few installments will be about catching up a little. 

The ambulance shown here today is an awesome adjunct to my large collection of MPC military vehicles which are sized for MPC 60mm ringhands. MPC never made an ambulance for it's Ringhands - even though it made medical units, and sets, and stretchers and such -  so this is a welcome addition to the fleet. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Here's the three Andy Gard vehicles I'll be blogging in the coming days: Ambulance, Personnel Carrier, and Tank

The ambulance measures: 9.75" (24.76cm) L x 3" (7.62cm) W x 3.625" (9.20cm) H

Plasticville Ambulance - Yellow HP

I picked up this Plasticville Ambulance on the cheap last year. I have no books on P-Ville so I don't have any item numbers associated with it, however it's a nice little piece to add to the Fire & Emergency fleet. It's rather a deep yellow, almost orange when seen up close and personal and is typical of the toy companies trend for making things in bright, garish colors. It measures: 4.125" (10.47cm) L x 1.25" (3.17cm) W x 1.375" (3.49cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

American Heritage Models 1/43 Scale Diecast 1937 Studebaker Ambulance

I'm in the middle of a couple of projects right now, but thought you might enjoy seeing this American Heritage Models ambulance I bought for the fire scene on my train layout. It's funny how they make this thing with an opening hood with an engine inside, but the real action is in the back - where the patients are loaded/unloaded - and yet they didn't design an opening door to the rear deck. Oh well, it is what it are! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
