Cheapo hairspray works great for chipping paint if anyone is interested.

Fantastic color! Too bad about the decals peeling off, I'd be tempted to mask and paint them

Ford LS Rescue truck
gotnitro? replied to gotnitro?'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I just had to fix those engraved doors, chopped up a fresh sheet of .020" and that was done. I'm so much happier with them now. They just need slam locks. I ordered several sheets of plastruct diamond plate for the fire trucks, since they don't rely on dirt for traction lol. I chatted w our town fire chief today, and he brought photos of our towns apparatus. I was blown away when he showed me our towns Ford LS ! Hard to believe its a 1992 , and looks like new!! I'm planning a similar color scheme of white / safety lime green aka slime lime. -

Yeah I'd love add another puppy to the shelf eventually. Guess it would need to be one of Global scales cabs now -

Thanks, hoping for a quick build during the holiday break -
Wait what ??? He's building something shiny, and with chrome your all asking right??? Yes, this build and the next will have both. This is completely different from what I usually build, my Dad noticed I hadn't built a fire truck yet..so the squirrels were let in the house. This is part 1 of 3, and the easier of the group. I'm planning a tanker, this rescue truck, and lastly an ariel or Quint. So...I ordered a rescue body off the auction site. The main build will be based off the Ford Louisville short hauler. A newer, LS 9000 hood from Plaskit is being shipped.I assembled the beautiful rescue body, and heres a quick mock up of where I headed. Any feedback, comments or concerns welcome! Closeup of the engraved details this arrived with Jeff

Wow your grill looks fantastic! I was going to assume Alclad, based on the great chrome sheen. Love the red color on the fenders too..care to share what that is?? Keep up the great work -

Excellent work on the plow! I was surprised to see lights on the wing, our DOT would wipe those out on the first street of mailboxes... Very nice little pump too
