Neat job on the snap kit, Easy kit to modify. greg

Has anyone produced a 1/24-25 scale Harley Davidson service car or made a casting or 3d of the rear to attach to the Maisto Harleys? I've got 1/18 Maisto, and larger Pyro model. greg

I would check with the store manager as the company policy is that the 40% off is bi-weekly and maybe your there on the wrong week. greg

Not quite on the road, or even can be on the road. greg

Nice job, Here's mine Done with first release. Thought of doing FDNY Super Pumper update. greg

A lot of fire departments have trademarked their logos so it's a little harder to use as scale decals. Bilbozodecals – For Police Diecast Builders greg

This site has a paint pen with 1/2 oz marker which might be enough to airbrush. Caribbean Turquoise B-TRUCK (1966) Touch Up Paint for 1966 Ford Truck - PaintScratch.com greg

Good luck in the dioramas. One of my pet projects that I would have like to have done was '77 Sunset Strip' with the 59 t-bird and Kookies hot rod. Elvira's T bird kit, and maybe Roth's 'tweedy pie' coming out of Dino's Lodge. Any idea on the colors? greg

Gee, no thanks to the first responders. greg

This is what I did with the original kit, Ford show car: Tissue paper used for rear canvas top, Balsa wood strips on body and Rapidiograph pen used to detail rims. greg

nice wheel treatment, greg

The light bar on the suburban is a Federal sign and signal 'VisiBar'. Popular light bar in the 60's until the introduction of the 'TwinSonic' in the 70's. The motor in one of the beacons rotated both lights by a chain in the crossbar that kept the lights in sync. The best replica is the lightbar off of the JoHan police car. If you can find an original released kit the lightbar domes were tinted and with some of the popular removers they are clear plastic, Red and blue lenses were popular police emergency lights in that period. Haven't seen the series, greg

neat build. greg

If you ever need for information on vehicles used in TV and movies. IMCDb.org: Cars, bikes, trucks and other vehicles seen in movies and TV series. YouTube snippet with car in the scene, 56 seconds into scene: greg

My irk today is with a certain cellular service that markets to the senior citizens. It seems that when a phone is no longer updated, they have no sympathy for their customers who are mostly on fixed income and cannot afford new phones. greg

Here are some suggestions for raised tops. Some tops left the cab roof alone and cut after the driver's compartment for the raised portion. Some carried over the raised roof marker that was on Cadillac ambulances. Note some roofs are angled and have light pods that are vertical to the ground. good luck in your endeavor. greg

Here are some measurements: My stash of Dodge vans greg

The actual ambulances from that era were the tradesman with the windows on the passenger side (they had a name for it but it's not in the memory bank right now). They were also the extended body and extended wheelbase. Kit wheelsbase is scale 109 inch where as majority of the ambulances were the 127 inch wheelbase. When Dodge went to a standard wheelbase of 109 inch most ambulance conversion ceased on Dodges. To do a true Dodge ambulance of that era you need 3 van kits, one windowed and two non window vans to stretch the body. Here is patched together body to make long wheelbase tradesman. This a Braun ambulance of that era. This is an Ampar ambulance note the rear extension and the blank between front door and side doors. I'll check my stash and get the roof measurements for you. greg

"the occasional misteak aside" Isn't that a steak order that's between rare,medium and well done. Better trademark that, there is a restaurants in that name greg

thanks for the info. greg

Do the re issues have the battery racks and motors for the propellers? greg

My thought would be to try to drill them out from the back. greg

I could see a whole squadron of these: Tuskegee red tail, Quicksliver, Yeager's, Roush's, Old Crow, Tugboat (Empire of the Sun movie) Hopefully no invasion stripes or maybe. Years ago Aurora did a series of race cars with military decals: Jaguar, Ford GT, Chapparal. Nice looking project greg

Mock up of Smashing the AMT fire truck kits. Pump added to Aero Chief kit, Duals from AMT Ford LNT. Chopped off roof to make open cab style. Boom borrowed from previious kit greg

I would suggest CA glue. I used it on this Sutphen ladder tower mating evergreen strips with brass L 's to form the aerial cage. greg
