Quality

When opening the box you find a lot of polyurethane parts, two photo etched sheets and a decal sheet (aside of the assembly instructions of course!). The resin parts are cast in a cream colored resin and are very good. No bubbles, no flash and a sharp edge is in fact a sharp edge. The major parts are on a sprue; the minor unfortunately in a resin skin. I am not so fond of that for you have to cut out and sand the minor parts from two sides and there is the danger to loose some details (for example at the springs). The parts fit together precisely. The etched parts are superb! The major parts will be the stretcher supports, the minor are handgrips, mirrors, gear levers and so on. They are etched so precisely that I would have bought this kit only for its etched part sheets.  The decal sheet has a round red cross sign and some numbering. Decals in a resin model kit are a quite new way and I can only encourage AMC to carry on in this way.
