Nxr Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Took about a month to finish all box stock and rustoleum paints as well as testors to airbrush small parts, very hard kit in terms of fitment I did not glue the cab or anything not many parts had mounting points so I made them with a small drill and copper wire. The basket brackets would not glue on otherwise. Decals are done letter by letter I did my best but I know they are a little twisty. The smaller phila decals are custom and fall apart in seconds but I still got them on. Perhaps it's not entirely historicaly accurate, I certainly wish there was more fire truck choices. The German ones are gonna be my next build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Nice job on the Aero Chief, What is with the new kits that the upper boom does not nest in the lower boom like the old kits? There is picture on the web of a Philly rear mount ladder that matches the kit. Waiting to see the Man built. greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nxr Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Oh wow i am amazed at the double axle, i am going to also try to make a pumper truck in yellow to honor the nancy run vol department by my house. The decals will not match the real truck but it will be the best i can do. Edited April 12, 2021 by Nxr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 If you want to scratch build a Mack C (beck) cab it will take 3 AMT ALF cabs. The roof section makes up the round parts of the cab. The custom headlights from the old AMT Ford Ranchero kit can be fudged for the headlights. Old AIM (Jim Etter) cast the cab years ago. Don't know if ATIM has the mold greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Can anyone read the small letters that are above the red Mack logo on the yellow truck above? C85? C95? That's a cool rig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
