hooknladderno1 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Blair, Awesome work! I may "borrow" a few of your techniques when I get around to replicating this: It was my fire department's early '50's rescue van. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 David- no need to scratch build the body. This one exists in diecast. Just change out the door and grill and you are good to go! I bought the three of them on eBay a few years ago. They weren't expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
