About product

Roden 1:35 Dodge M43 3/4t ambulance 4x4 (injection-molded plastic kit)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American military ambulance Dodge M43 on the 3/4 ton chassis with all-wheel drive (4x4) from the manufacturer Roden in 1:35 scale. The kit is made up of several plastic sprues and a decal sheet. The characteristic feature is the closed box body of the ambulance, with a separate driver's cab and a compartment for the wounded.

The real subject

The Dodge M43 was an American military ambulance derived at the beginning of the 1950s from the M37 truck of the 3/4 ton class. It differed from the cargo version precisely in the closed box body, made up of a driver's cab and a compartment for the wounded with a connecting door. The vehicle carried several stretcher cases together with medical attendants and served the American army in the postwar period, among other places in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. It was a typical cross-country medical vehicle of its day.

Building and painting tips

On a cross-country wheeled vehicle, spend time on the chassis, the axles and the seating of the body, so that the model stands level on all its wheels. Glue the plastic with liquid modeling cement. Lay a primer under the paint and spray with an airbrush. The closed body with its large surfaces rewards gentle shading and highlighting of the rivets and edges. For the patina use washes in the recesses and earth and dust pigments on the tires, the fenders and the underside. Apply the medical markings as decals over a perfectly smooth and glossy base.

Who the model is for

  • For anyone interested in American military support and rear-area hardware
  • For modelers who will appreciate an unusual box-bodied ambulance instead of a combat vehicle
  • For builders of dioramas on a medical theme
  • For collectors in 1:35 scale looking for a less usual subject

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

In place of a load bed the M43 has the closed box body of an ambulance, made up of a driver's cab and a separate compartment for the wounded with a connecting door. The 3/4 ton 4x4 chassis comes from the M37 truck.

It was an American military ambulance for carrying stretcher cases with medical attendants. It served in the postwar period, among other places in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

The kit has a manageable number of parts, but it is an older type of tooling with simpler detail. A slightly advanced modeler who watches the fit of the parts will manage it.
