Unimog S 404 - German Military Ambulance

The Unimog S 404 served widely with the Bundeswehr thanks to its one-and-a-half-ton payload and excellent cross-country ability. As an ambulance (Krankenkraftwagen), it used standard closed bodies configured to suit different medical roles, from carrying four stretchers to mixed stretcher-and-seat layouts. Wide rear doors aided the loading of patients, while large white circles with red crosses improved identification in the field. Over time, several body variants appeared, differing in details such as roof and window treatments, and around 2,000 ambulance examples were produced.

This ICM plastic model kit in 1:35 scale faithfully captures the Unimog S 404 German military ambulance. Supplied as highly detailed sprues with clear, precise parts and comprehensive assembly instructions, the set offers multiple build options and a versatile decal sheet. Part number HC-ICM35138.
