About this deal

But you know what I am like. I did some older models inspired by vehicles from this set too. So first up…. They wiped the Police off, and added a Boone County door design instead. Plus a few additional enhancements.

As I move through the decades I come across the last model to run through, inspired by the Hazard Squad. This is the MB402 Dennis Sabre. It is a very good casting with lots of play features, and for this release was given a Mobile Hospital themed outing. Very VERY important during the last year, that care was given to those who needed it. It was made in silver with a nod to the news teams who spend countless hours reporting on all of the events of the last year and a half, never stopping in their quest to give us all the latest news.And as I mentioned with the International TerraStar, this E-350 had already been done, which is why they used a modern casting instead.

Or with the base. This came with an all-new base stating it was the police car, but could have quite easily used the base for the MB59 Fire Chief/MB73 Commuter as they were using the same base as each other. After 2001 the model was pretty much finished. However, I know I said I wasn’t going to do any of the premium ones, but this was a lovely little model. I couldn’t resist showing off the swansong. It was part of a premium set made in 2002 called True Heroes, containing 4 models all from various walks of life. A police car, a fire unit, a tank and this ambulance. You see this ties in with something I am tagging on to the end of this report. Yes I was enjoying myself with these, and didn’t want to forget the photos after all that went into doing them. So I hope you didn’t mind this report going into extra time. And well I should continue the history shouldn’t I. Because as they were discussing the Expedition, they also set up a second Boone County model at the same time. The MB771 Ford E-350 Ambulance was set up in the Boone County Fire District livery for the 2011 Lesney Edition series. Although you may notice that the real one here is brown. Boone County do own a white one, which is what the model is based on, but Keith has not been able to hunt the owner down to take a photograph. If he does I will swap it in.And in 2009 it was added to the German Euro Edition series too in a Feuerwehr design. I see a little 58 on the side of the models. Hmm! I wonder if a certain Michael Heralda had anything to do with this one?
