John - I wish I had seen this earlier!!!  I'm not sure I can pull it off with everything else going on right now but I *might* be able to go for a CH-46 Sea Knight for this, let me think about it a bit.  I flew medevac (both medevac and casevac) on two deployments with a rapid deployment team I was on when I was serving with USMC as a Navy medic and would love to recreate the old days.  Problem is it is a complicated camo scheme (at least for me) for the mid 80's early 90's USMC choppers but who knows.. I might be up to the challenge now!

I also flew on the CH-53's but I'd have to reasearch who does that kit...

I guess I should ask first, but would that be allowable for this GB?  There's no red crosses on them... in fact they are the same helicotpers that fly them in for the assault, and fly them back out when they are wounded... not a specialty vehicle like a actual ambulance at all...

Tom, sounds good to me!  As long as it carried wounded personnel at one point, it counts as an ambulance to me. :)

I have some tricks for complicated camo patterns...PM or email me if you want.

Thanks, it was a nice simple fun kit to build. I did just get a Humvee ambulance kit, so I may do that one too, but I have several other builds going on so it may be a bit.
