GLMFAA1 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Tired of doing red so changed up to Tamiya orange on this one. AMT ALF Aero Chief 'quint'. Quint is 5 functions: aerial, ladders, pump, hose, and water tank. Modified cab with roof removal, extended side panels using evergreen sheet and half round. Added pump portion from pumper kit, modified side cabinets from kit, added dual rear axle from AMT Ford LNT. Rear fenders fabricated and round rod for trim. Rear stabilizers extended for greater stance. Boom has added tubing inside representing hydraulic lines, I added folding ladder, pike pole and extinguisher to bucket. Original kit against modified kit Lengthened body works, booms are same length. This the modified Aero Chief- MPC Dodge van mirrors. Electronic siren from AMT police car. Open roof, extended sides of cab, keep the vent windows in the side windows rear view of boom and ladder racks Interior shot of open cab, double windshield wipers-interior and exterior. Response along with pumper. Going on top to take a look The orange units in the department. greg Edited July 20, 2022 by GLMFAA1 posted before finishing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Great looking Quint, Greg. Was it difficult doing the open top? I want to backdate my AeroChief to a 900 Series open cab, but I'm not sure I have the skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towman1271 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I love it.. our company had an orange pumper back in the late 70's. Called it the Orange Crush. Amazing job you did on this unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
