Full details

It offers a premium, high-quality metal build that brings the iconic 1959 Cadillac ambulance to life on your display shelf, though its 1/24 scale size means it lacks the intricate electronic lighting or sound effects found in much larger, more expensive hobbyist kits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This diecast model arrives ready to display straight from the packaging. To maintain the integrity of your ECTO-1, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal body periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or water, as they may damage the paint or the adhesive on the logo decals.
- Handling: Always hold the vehicle by the chassis or the body rather than the roof-mounted equipment, which is more fragile.
- Display Environment: Keep the model in a climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading or the plastic components from becoming brittle over time.
- Surface Compatibility: The model works best on flat, level surfaces. The freewheel system performs smoothly on desks, glass shelves, or display mats.
