Dinky 263 Criterion Ambulance

Model #1

As Bought:

Repainted with the siren missing.This is the model with the flashing light but all the internal lght mechanism is broken.

 

Restoration:

The model was completely stripped and repainted. I must admit that I am not 100% satisfied with the finish of the blue metallic paint though.

The internal mechanism was rebuilt using brass sheet and the bulb repainted with glass paint (most of the original red paint was worn off).

A new siren was fitted and the rear of the windows painted matt black to better show off the new decals.

Model #2

As Bought:

In very poor condition with both windscreen pillars broken off and light missing.

 

Restoration: None yet.
