dptydawg Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This project is close enough to done to call this truck in service. I started off with a diecast 1/24th scale Matchbox model of a KME F450 Ford mini-pumper I wanted to replicate our Summit F550 Compressed Air Foam mini-pumper (Call Sign 11-2) . Since the original was a diecast I gave up on the idea of converting it to a 4 door cab and went with a standard cab instead. After a lot of scratch building here are the results as 11-2 arrives at the fire hall The only diecast bits left are the door skins hood and cab. Everything else is plastic. Thanks for looking Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Very nice! A lot of hard work to make a replica look so realistic. Sure wish those cabs were available in plastic or resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
