Very nice job!

Thanks

I have this ambulance built in the Israeli version. The model was unavailable for purchase for a very long time, but last year I managed to get it and it’s sitting in my drawer. I was looking for an idea for this model and maybe your work will be an inspiration. An interesting option.

Looka nice, and interesting, it fits ok.

I wanted to build one on the Tamiya base, but that needs cutting it in 2 halfs to get the right dimensions , so it is still in the box, waiting for motivation

Thanks the chsssis, suspension ,wheels and hood are from the Bronco M1114 kit and everything else is from the Academy M997 Ambulance kit

crazy timing as I just fished out my m997a2 out of storage to finally finish it! yours looks great so far! I’ll be following this =)

Any problems connecting the two sets? I am considering this option.

Nope it fit like a glove

You can try to scratchbuild the lost parts.

Wheels and bonnet locking parts are in the wrong way.

Wheels: the ones with prominent rim center are rear wheels.

I have this kit too and having just done Academy’s M1025…. I am not looking forward to building it. I might just pair up the ambulance-part with Italeri M1092 chassis.

But the wheels…..:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Would you happen to have the wiper blades to the academy humvee?

In the m1025 Academy kit, wipers are solidars with the windshield frame like in Tamiya kit.

I thought they were loose like in thier ambulance kit

It is cheaper for you to buy a new kit over there then it is for me to send you the missing parts across the Atlantic. Sorry.

M992 A3 superstructure is not identical with A2 version. A3 superstructures are new-build.
