  5. This is what I am after: Using Yat Ming Mack and Monogram AC front. Front would be 5 spoke w/o brakes and rear would hold dual tires. The pictures are Danbury Mint 1/32 scale and Yat Ming Mack pumper which has front brakes on rim. greg

  16. 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
