Taking from BrickMania’s description; The WC54 Ambulance was based on a specially converted Dodge 4\u00d74 three quarter ton truck. It featured a specially smooth suspension, hard body construction and a special heater designed to keep patients and crew comfortable. This was the a the main ambulance used by US forces in World War II in all areas of operation and continued service well into the Korean War.<\/p>\n

Lets take a closer look at this kit in our BrickMania Kit Review.<\/p>\n

Below is the custom pad printed minifigure which comes with this set. As indicated on the box, this is from Citizen Brick<\/a>, he comes with 2 pot helmets from Brickarms<\/a>, one a plain helmet the other has the medic cross on his helmet.<\/p>\n

\"BM281<\/a>
\nThe ambulance is a real beauty. With the stickers added to the kit, it does add on the authenticity. Compare this with the real world ambulance photos, it is accurately detailed.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

This kit took less than 2 hours to complete. The final construction is very sturdy and can survive daily play-ability with no issues. The kit has opening cab doors and back door and can fit a minfig into the cab, a LEGO stretcher can also fit into the rear of the ambulance and looking at the above photos between this LEGO custom vs the real ambulance it is a real beauty and closely replicated to the original.<\/p>\n

The Citizen Brick minifig is really a nice addition in this kit.<\/p>\n

However there were some issues with the current sticker sheet. As i got it second hand , the sticker sheet was in bad condition as was stuck on the plastic.<\/p>\n

\"BM281<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall its still a great piece for anyone who is into WWII vehicles built in Lego. Do check out another review on Brothers Brick <\/a>on the following kit.<\/p>\n
