Nice to see what we talked about, Looks great and it does feel good to do some other color beside red greg

This great casting builds into a replica of this real fire apparatus. The body casting is nice, the frame and floor plate does not fit well. You need an AMT ALF pumper kit for parts greg

Nice model, I like 'working vehicles' May I suggest the antenna from the Monogram/Revell 1/24 Huey chopper greg

I hope it is the photo and not a pink interior, Great build, always a ACBC fan. In my youth I had a an old VW chassis that I wanted to build into a rear engine Lotus 7. greg

Thanks for the info, Really nice build greg

OK I'm an old 'vette' fan and never heard the term "tanker" Please explain. It's not a plane, ship, or stein I'm so confused greg

Easy to do, here are some of my old original release van the was fortunate enough to have the windows. Cut the roof above the gutter strip use evergreen plastic sections to make the side risers Some tubing used for the warning lights, use the roof for the top some putty will be needed greg

So sorry to hear this news, Gary was a pleasant person who gave me the opportunity to publish articles in his magazine, He gave a voice to the fire modelers. Was always a pleasure to talk to at the Toy Collector's fair in Maumee Ohio. I was fortunate to be the first face on the 'other' magazine and he was always positive about the car model hobby, May he rest in peace. greg

Way back when, I took the Blazer roof and modified by sectioning it narrower to fit the dodge and shortened the bed to make a replica of my Ramcharger

Did anyone notice an April 1st release notice? greg

I know when I first saw the problem, in my mind that little voice said that's an easy fix, I am not knocking the kit but just wanted it to be noticed and maybe it could be fixed before release, Do we know what the release date is? looking forward to many builds off this kit greg

Going to be a little 'picky' with the utility bed. If you look close at the lower corner of the utility body the door has no lower side of the cabinet, I appreciate the fact that the hobby is getting new stuff but hopefully this can be fixed before production. greg

Thank you for the time to take pictures and sharing them with us that could not be there, Great lure to get us there, greg

Here are some posted shots of some of the entrants to the contest held March 31st https://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/south-hill-modelers/ greg

Thanks to all who presented this historical achieve. What fascinating procedure of model production, Thank you for your work in providing me with many hours of joy of building the models, What a surprise to see the Squirt ALF project. What was the projected year for production? They must have really second thoughts when they had to offer the three kits at $5.00 a piece. What interesting facts regarding the management and actual production with the injection (pardon the pun) of Lindsey acquiring AMT. greg

Will there be food concessions? greg

Interesting Luc is that the re-releases have numerous Ford C cabs and Loiusvilles in different configurations with decals and the construction dozer has had rebirth, maybe back then when there were a plethora of truck movies out the big rigs were popular but not space friendly. Interesting to hear about the Garwood, greg

When AMT had a strike and was in the middle of announcing new kits of the Ahrens-Fox pumper, the Garwood trash truck and the LinkBelt power shovel had these proposed kits ever gotten off the drafting board? How close to production were they and if they made it to the die production are they still around and could they be produced today by the remanufactures? The rumor I heard way back when was they were having trouble with the long arms of the power shovel as much as they did with the ALF AeroChief. greg

Welcome back a fellow buckeye, and the other Dave 'Go penguins !' For the rest of you , How do you start your car in Youngstown? A. a. Have someone else start it, b. Keep the door open and your left leg out, that way the blast will blow you out of the car greg

Curiosity almost killed the cat, Since it's my birthday I checked the list, thanks for the wish, I took the ages listed and the mean age is 47.6 years old. Oldest is 73 and youngest is 18 Wonder what kind of marketing genius could come up with a plan to get that market share? greg

My 78 lights used amber bulbs in clear lenses greg

Interesting part to look at is the body piece between the grill and the bumper, Before 78 the turn signals were in the body part and with the signals in the grille the turn signals were deleted on the body part, So what part is in the new release? I noticed when going through other threads about the Dodge kits there was a box art that had both signals on the kit. Any after market parts maker need to consider this detail. On my full size '76 Rustcharger' I replaced the grille with a 78 grille and kept both turn signals greg

As the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words I can not write the words to satisfactorily praise your work. I am extremely fortunate to have you as a hobby friend. Have you heard from the veteran in Hawaii that got his model? It would be great to see a photo of him with the model. greg

Nice job Tom, Good to hear of names from the past as Etter and Savage. Always liked the B series greg

You might think of making it a New York fire department drill team truck greg
