Great job Scott. My old stomping grounds! Love the idea of the sopranos!

I have tried decals to make the chevrons, even purchased some premade ones and never had much luck with them. Tearing and such. I now paint all of mine. It can be very time consuming consuming, and no matter much pushing and smoothing down of the tape, there is also a little bit a bleed through.

Nice build, well done.

Thank you Jeff! No those lights were not from the kit. I found them from a vendor on eBay. He has all kinds of emergency lights and in different scales. I will send you his contact information.

Thank you Brian!

The ladder rack was added, I also resin cast some 5 gallon foam buckets. The ladder was painted , have to try and figure out how to make a miniature pulley for it

Thank you Jeff also very much appreciated!

Thank you Gary , very much appreciated!

Scott, looks really nice, good solid build as always.

The wood floor deck looks really nice, also nice job with the body. Looks good all around

More progress….. the end of this build is in sight. The kit light bars were slightly modified by adding a thin piece of plastic to the bottom of bar, the bar was hollow. A piece of foil tape was added before it was glued on to hopefully reflect a little .

Thank you Randy, added a few more details. Pics will follow soon

Thank you Jeff .

Scott, Nice work on the frame and cab. Gonna take a guess with the blue cab and go with BFI maybe ? Or after merge with republic.

Fixed some of the defects where the paint bled through. Working on the intake and discharge panel.
