Fixing the Van

I use this putty sometimes and it works okay.
I put a little bit on this aluminum foil and using a dental tool to fill in the bump in the roof of the van.
Put it on the roof to fill the dip.
Smooth it out with the tool.
Then sand it down with fine sandpaper. All better waiting for primer and paint.

Eastern European Van

This is an Eastern European van from the period of the Cold War.
Vans like this were used for both military and civilian purposes.
It is a rather small vehicle in HO scale.
Underside it rather detailed.
Airfix Civilian next to the van.
The roof has a weird gouge in it.

Three Ambulances

Many times these big vehicles are mobile trauma centers.
The back and front of this vehicle needs a little painting on the lights.
Bottom is pretty good.
Top side.
Sometimes vehicles from many agencies and private vehicles will respond to the same incident.
In a very large incident ambulances from hundreds of miles away can respond.

Matchbox Ambulance

In a major emergency, where there is a real or potential possibility of injuries often large numbers of ambulances may be dispatched.
Matchbox has made a lot of different types of paramedic vehicles.
I often buy just about all of them that I can find.
At the scene of a major incident there can be dozens of them present.
This is a big truck in real life.
This is a very nicely detailed vehicle.
