A new kit on the way from Dragon Models will help evacuate the wounded from the front line using a halftrack.
Dragon Models has another new kit on the way, this time a Maultier helping move the wounded. The German Maultier was introduced in 1942 being a successful vehicle, though not as mobile as some other purpose built halftracks. Dragon will be adding the Maultier Ambulance to their line of kits. The kit will be based on the existing Maultier kit and will include a configurable interior.

6766 – Sd.Kfz.3 Maultier Ambulance

According to Dragon Models, this kit should be available this month, but as of yet, I have not seen it in stores yet.

I hope to find some nice figures to add to this!

It was used as a radio vehicle, repair workshop, staff vehicle, etc. Italeri had a similar vehicle, a radio truck, based on an Opel Blitz chassis (long out of production). I will defitiely be getting this one. There are very few ambulances available in 1/35 injection molded plastic. Dragon has the Medical Kuebelwagen that includes medics, wounded soldiers, a doctor and nurse figure. It's very nice and would compliment this vehicle perfectly. I would expect that Italeri will combine thier Maultier and old Opel Blitz shelter truck kits and release a kit similar to this one (at an outrageous price)....that is only my humble opinion. Way to go DML....This is really thinking "outside the box"! Jeff

Forgot to ask, although it's probably still too early to tell. Does this Maultier kit also come with the extra parts to build a Blitz as does the earlier Maltier kit?

Another good question! Unfortunately, one I can't answer. This thing is fantastic though! Didn't we spot this lurking around in the background of one of Volstad's art works before? So much diorama potential.

This is some rocking good news!

It could get pretty claustrophobic in there with a full 9 stretcher configuration and the limited side door access. Would hate to be in there while under threat of allied fighter-bomber/jabo attack, yeesh!!

Definitely an area that's been needing some attention. The dio possibilities abound with this one.

A Dodge ambulance would have been more welcome IMO, while the italeri kit is not bad for its age, a modern tooling of this one would be nice.
