FIREMODELMAN

Started on this one last week. I began with an Italeri 377 Peterbilt kit, and will bash it with a Trumpeter ALF kit.  I took the sleeper from the AMT wrecker kit, cut and chopped it up to make a crew seating area for 3 firefighters.  The frame was stretched 2 inches to allow room for a walk way for the crew. Steps will be made later once I get the fuel tanks on , and get further along. Wheels are from the Pete kit, Tires are from the ALF kit. Just a rough mock up for now, but it looks as if everything will fit.  Thanks for looking, Dave.

Here is the ONE and ONLY rusted out model I have ever did. Building fire related models, It's hard NOT to want to make them all shiny, but this was my attempt.

Here's a 1924 ALF, That started life as the Beverly Hillbillies kit. Scratch built body.

Here is a 1941 Chevy fire truck I built. The body on this one is all scratch built. I won my 3rd first place with this truck in '08, then gave it away to someone who had eye balled it all day.

1/32 scale Mack snap kit. Added details.

1/32 scale Aurora California fire truck. Built box stock.

Here are a few of my older builds, that I'm not sure I posted on here. If I did my apologies for double posting.

1965 APPROVED rescue truck. Modeled after the rig from the Reading Pa. Fire Dept.

1950 CHEVROLET Fire truck. A basic kit bash between a pick up and the AMT ALF body. I did some body work, molding the roof line into the pumper body, and adding lights into the roof.

Next, a 1961 Chevy. Also stared life as a pick up, mated to the ALF body, that was split down the middle, sanded down 1/4 inch, then put back together so it would match up to the pick up cab width. Front fender flares made from Bondo, roof light's molded into body work as well.
