Roden announces a new M43 Ambulance.
Developed by the Dodge automobile company in 1951 through conversion of the M37 truck, series production of the vehicle lasted until 1954.

The M43 could transport four casualties, accompanied by one or two medical personnel, with the primary support systems installed in the car. The vehicle participated in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, where it proved its great efficiency transporting wounded personnel from field airstrips to remote military hospitals.

After the Vietnam War, the vast majority of the M43 were withdrawn from the ranks of the army and resold to private owners. In the present day, a large number of them participate in numerous military auto shows in the United States and in other countries.

Roden putting out the M series 3/4 ton trucks left and right. In going thru some old post's I came across one about AFV Club releasing their version of the M-37 due out Winter of 2016. Any one hear any thing more. DaveM

Hi David, what yo wanna know? The M43 is for sale for many month... check ebay, about 30euro per model. The writer of this one screwed up or slept for a few months.. in this case i recommend seeing a doc

He asked about the AFV Club kit announced some time ago. No, M42 is for sale for many months, not M43. M43 was released just a few weeks ago. That is true indeed...

I screwed up? Yes. Slept for months? No. In fact I steal time from my sleep to write news, resize images, look for information to fill the space as the producers seldom tell you more than the title and keep everyone here informed. And all of this for free. Guess I should use this time for my models.

AFVClub/Skybow originally were talking about the M37 series in,I think, 1997. They announced it again in 2016 about the time Roden released theirs but so far, nothing . It may be taking them awhile to get it marketed or it may simply be vaporware. Time will tell. AFVClub surprised a lot of us withe their M54A2C 5 ton so, one never knows .

What made me write it was the sentence " Has announce a new" etc from the original text you wrote since it is not announced but for weeks on sale and in fact old news. Thought I saw the real announcment a long time ago here. might have mistaken. was not meant to be personal bra I hate it when the sarcastic side does not come through on the web

No worries... is not the first time I get hit because my English is not good enough, or the new is old or... so I got your message the wrong way
