This is ICM's WWl Ford Model T ambulance. Built pretty well OOB, except for the cab roof tie-downs, and a starter crank handle (which ICM forgot!). Also added wiring and a few minor details to the engine. And scribed planking lines to the box body, although some were covered in sheet plywood. Also detailed the interior of the drop tail-gate.

Great work! Wobbly looking front wheel-- but I think maybe the real thing looked just like that! Especially after hard use!

Really well done! Captures the dusty, crusty look of the real things including those wobbly wheels.

Great job on the detailing, colors & the grubby appearance! How did you go about doing the wear on the decals? And if I may, the floor & sidewalls of the cab could show some scuff marks where people are climbing in/out.

Some of the distressing on the decals was body color stippled by sponge, and the larger bits was picking away at the decal with the point of a sharp blade.
