Interesting that the 'eggbeater' was used by the air force, marines and navy , but I don't see any reference to the army using it. If the army did use it I wonder what indian designation it was given. The evolution of this copter turned into this: greg

I'm not a rail hobbyist but I believe the large stack was an attempt as a spark and ember arrester. These engines were wood burning. Nothing like 'burning your bridges' or cars, track, stations, passengers, and forests (which was needed for fuel) greg

There was a AMT Ford LTD off of the galaxy, Revell 1963 Dodge MPC Dodge various releases. Goon Car The Yodel cop cars, greg

I have a permanent scar in my left thumb from cutting a model with a razor blade which were my xactos for years. When I got exactos I put plastic tubing on them so that my fat fingers could hold them better. Fortunately I never shanked myself, but have had many stick in the floor mat. easy to pick up when they are vertical. greg

I'd have to add any of the vertical take off planes, Ryan x3, Convair xfy 1 'pogo' , etc and they had models of these aircraft! greg

Here is the 'Huskie" at the USAF museum

My choices would a Mack B model, White COE and a GMC cracker box as retro trucks. To have these done as models with details not included in cast replicas. In my specialty of models would be a generic fire cab ala TCM ( truck cab manufactures) fire cab with no name blank body shell and various add- ons to make manufactures plated cabs. greg

Very nice job and great gift idea, just have to add my two cents: side windows and windshield wiper clean area on windshield. Happy Holidays greg

One name: A.J.Foyt greg

Who will be the first to wire it up and make em work greg

Also Monogram's 'Rommel's Rod' greg

Thanks for the info, Never bought that version of the kit, They almost look like scale art deco salt and pepper shakers greg

What did you use or make them? greg

Nice album of fire trucks greg

Nice job, What are the loads on the rear antennas? greg

Don't get mixed up with NBC putting model rocket engines in pick up tanks when they ran an expose on GM pickups with 'exploding' gas tanks. greg

Hope he doesn't have a radio in the car, My recollection there was a suppression system like Corvettes, greg

In another thread (Corvair engine air duct) the discussion went about the ways AMT attempted to cut costs near its end in Michigan. The American LaFrance fire trucks kits were a good example of the attempt to cut cost by eliminating the clear yellow and red trees and dechroming the kits. They placed those parts on the chrome tree. They even shot the ladder in the Ladder Chief in white plastic, Chrome parts from original release and white plastic from mid 70's /80's releases. greg

Now way back, I rear ended a Pinto with my Dodge Ramcharger sliding on ice, When I hit the Pinto I was expecting the worst of explosion and fire between the two cars, I remember that big rear window shattering to a million pieces. pushed the pinto into a car in front of him that was stopped to make a left turn, so my insurance paid for two car repairs, In the end the Pinto driver got paid for personal injury from my insurance. He took the money and didn't pay his ambulance bill, so I let the ambulance company know about that and he went straight to collection.

YEAH! It's a fire truck, Nice job, greg PS: by the way 'Scale Firehouse' web site is down right now, but Chris is working on it

Now that would have caught Robert Mitchum!

Nice work. great build greg
