Down memory lane for fun
GLMFAA1 replied to John1955's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Us old kids that grew up in Northeast Ohio were influenced by a late night TV horror movie host known as 'Ghoulardi' He broadcast blowing up models that were sent to him. Had to see if it was the same in living color as opposed to the B&W boob tube. Ya I lost a couple of models. greg -
what kit's from mpc has the snow/mud tires included
GLMFAA1 replied to ranma's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
What I can recall is that the Jeep kits had the Goodyears. I think there was a set of them in the Pontiac kit that had the ski equipment. The MPC Chevy pick ups had an odd ball tire that had straight cleats across them and didn't look like a snow tire. You might be better off going with after market sources. greg -
Philadelphia fire department Aero Chief
GLMFAA1 replied to Nxr's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
If you want to scratch build a Mack C (beck) cab it will take 3 AMT ALF cabs. The roof section makes up the round parts of the cab. The custom headlights from the old AMT Ford Ranchero kit can be fudged for the headlights. Old AIM (Jim Etter) cast the cab years ago. Don't know if ATIM has the mold greg -
Philadelphia fire department Aero Chief
GLMFAA1 replied to Nxr's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice job on the Aero Chief, What is with the new kits that the upper boom does not nest in the lower boom like the old kits? There is picture on the web of a Philly rear mount ladder that matches the kit. Waiting to see the Man built. greg -

'56 Ford mini pumper
GLMFAA1 replied to leafsprings's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice pumper, I wonder if it would be better proportioned if the pump body was 'bobbed' a little. just a side bar. My pumpers. The Revell ford with widened fenders and scratch built pumper body using AMT and Aurora parts. A Datsun with the Aurora 1/32 pumper body A AMT Ford pick up with the MPC Chevy pick up fire body on the back greg -

Finally got the First Gear 1/24th Chicago fire department Mack/Holmes wrecker. A friend found a derelict one at a toy show and had a donor derelict one to switch parts off of. I switched the boom and attached mirrors and used an AMT bulldog. What a nice birthday present. greg
