Interesting subject.
Hopefully this will be the beginning of a growing series of new soft skin vehicles from Dragon.

Nice to get it all in one package though
The other option is crosskitting to get one wheeled ambulance and one Maultier with a cargo body

Robin, according to the information provided New parts added to the mix are stowage boxes located under the box body

So you could not get exactly the same model combining the previous ones... although it may not be difficult to scratchbuild the boxes.

Excellent !

All the parts are in the old Maultier Ambulance, missing just one wheel, AFAIR, I did it with the old one.

But, the ambulance Blitz, I believe were of the 4x4 variant, mainly. It could have been a good opportunity to do a 4x4 Blitz

Nice release ! This style of body was also used for other purposes as well,like maintenance and supply functions so you could use this truck in a repair facility dio,etc.

Jerry, I believe that the other versions did not have the extended roof.

Awesome!

I love a well done 1/48 WW2 German SoftSkin 😆 -- does the Maultier Ambulance come with an out-fitted Ambulance body ?

The Germans had both 2x4 and 4x4 Blitz ambulance so either would be correct. However I agree this would have been the perfect opportunity for someone to FINALLY make a 4x4 Blitz available in plastic.

Finally the Multier ambulance does come with a crowded, fully detailed rear house body.

While this is all very nice I am left wondering what ever happened to Dragon's release of the radio truck that they offered a while back that was based on the Maultier version f this kit? Can't find it in their DragonUSA site catalogue. And yes, it would have been a great opportunity to offer the 4x4 version, so I'm guessing that Dragon will offer it separately a year down the road. As usual.

Got to inspect this kit last weekend at Scale Reproductions in Louisville. Very nicely done kit and a very full load of stretchers, etc. in the rear!

Why no one makes the 4x4 Blitz in plastic is beyond me!
