Why is the theme of M.A.S.H. running in my head when I went through this thread? Years ago I gave my boss a diorama of the Peerless 1/35th model of the ambulance with it customized with the company's color scheme. Lost in a fire. greg

Here is one built way back in the early eighties when evergreen plastic came out and made the construction so much easier. This is on the DM truck which is wrong because DM is designated as Dump and Mixer frame. greg

The final story of 'squad 10'. The model traveled to Los Angeles by my niece who lives in LA. Hand delivered to the Los Angeles County Fire museum and is now on display. greg

How about the 1970 Jeepster kit with safari gear? greg

There was a company in North Dakota that was rebuilding and manufacturing mules using different power plants and fixed some deficits. greg

As a quote from a long time ago as I was in line at the Pennsylvania firefighters convention in the Dutch wonderland: 'needs more lights'! Then I realized I was in the line to get your pager tuned up. greg

Great to see you are back building, Hey folks we need to ban O.D. paint in Massachusetts. 😃 I wonder if the redball express had fire apparatus? greg

Here is an example for you, Bermuda cab greg

Since I was born in the 50's and had two older brothers. The first automobile models I recall were the Revell Highway sets. greg

Has any one ever cast or 3d printed a model of this year F85? JoHan did 61 and 62 no 63 greg

I suspect the hobby will get a little more costly. Tamiya kits, paints and tools. The Ukraine model kits. The Revell of Germany. Fujimi, Hasakawa. Italeri. etc. What is Round 2 going to do with the Chinese manufactured models and die cast having a higher tariff? greg

Thanks for suggestion Tim. Maybe one of the moderators could do that. To the another matter there are after market 'mods' out there but I think Moebius would put more thought into it as a detailed interior and equipment like a correct model 30 Ferno cot. greg

Wondering if anyone has used these plans and did it work. Looking to make a police car. https://3dexport.com/3dmodel-pontiac-lemans-4-door-1973-551204.htm greg

What a nice job, only missing is the tiger tail from the trunk. greg

My first real new car was a 1976 Ramcharger. Paid for it with wage and hour reward. Was interesting purchase as sitting with dealer and choosing options from the list starting out with the 3 on the tree, 2wd, one seat, no roof, no soft top. Ended up with what I wanted except 76 was the only year they did not offer a 4 speed on the floor so I went automatic. Speaking of the roof; the dealer next year offered even trade for a 77 but only problem was frame was twisted and roof would not line up and seal. Interesting project and will waiting to see finish. greg

Since you are offering different rear bodies for the Ford pick up here is my suggestion: How about an ambulance body. One body that has a TV connection would be the seldom seen 1973 Ford Modulance type 1 ambulance. 4 of them Dietz gumballs from the wrecker would look good on corners of the box. greg

I agree with new 70 Dodge truck kits, They did the Chevies and Fords so it is time for the Dodge pick ups and add the vans (windowed) Nice Job Terry greg

Common sense is knowing your tidy whities are getting old when you have less lint to remove from the trap.

I can guess the ALF eagle on top of the roof. I used the bell from the Aurora 1/32nd pumper for smaller units. This modified Revell 57 pick up was done years ago matching the AMT ALF pumper body. To back date it I did the sides with the front fenders and used the Aurora ALF pump panel to reverse the operators side. Flipped hard suction and ladder positions,wound carpert thread around hard suction for age effect. greg

Great 'how to' and if I may offer some other tips. I use spray adhesive to adhere the foil to the project. The other tip from the late Bill and Andy is after you emboss the foil is to coat the back of the foil with white glue to fill in the dimples so they don't collapse. greg

Like Yoda to Luke: thank you for the instructions. greg
