It is not a bad looking ambulance - definitly one I will be adding to my collection when I find it. Hope MB keeps this one on the more realistic side with future issues.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
It's gotten gaudier, but good they have kept it around. The paint job on the plastic body can be safely removed (without etching the plastic) with Mr. Clean, Pine-Sol, or similar household cleaner. Let it soak for about 6-8 hours after brushing it on, then wash it off well and the markings will come off with your hand or a brush.
Kill the "cleaned" red plastic color with a light coat of grey primer, then paint your new color.
If you want to keep it just the way it came, buy a good pair of sunglasses! :lol:

This isn't bad. The colors are slightly flashier, but I will grab one of these when they hopefully show up here.

Hopefully they learned the lesson of what not to do from Hot Wheels.

P.S. Ambulances are supposed to catch your eye, so a smidgen of gaudiness is to be expected. Sunglasses optional.

Yeah, I liked that one too. I always seem to like the debut models the best, they always seem to have the best designs. You know what though? That ambulance really reminds me of a European ambulance. I think it has something to do with those huge yellow arrows on the side. Posted Image
