  4. Only drink that water when I go to the NNL

  7. Rehabbed this one. Not as detailed as the others but this was built when kits first came out. Used Humbrol army drab green and then used pearl over the cab pieces cut the bottom out of the tool crib and used window screen on the bottom. A tool from the past: used a rapidiograph pen to detail rim lines Yep driver's mirror missing greg

  11. If you ever measured the thickness of scale model plastic it is 040 thick, Wonder what a real car would be like with 1 inch skin, greg
  12. The nerve of them to say 'fun to assemble' that torsion rod suspension was a killer for the KW's when I was a kid. greg

  19. The one you are thinking of from the TV shows was a Ward LaFrance not an American LaFrance. All the kits were based off the AMT kits, With the three kits you could build the complete line of ALF truck for that era, The Ward cab is available as a casting Here is a midship ladder from the kits Ron, if you are interested in models of American apparatus may I suggest http://scalefirehouse.com/sfh_brd/search.php?search_id=newposts&sid=863fc0b58fd375da80bb249909c1d0bc greg
