'56 Ford F 350 Mini Pumper

[leafsprings]

Combined the Revell '56 Ford with the Monogram Mack pumper to create the mini pumper.  Went together pretty easily with a few modifications. Used the  AMT Ford pickup 1 ton frame as the foundation and added Rookie Resin 1 ton I beam front axle with springs and shocks, and Scene Unlimited 6 lug dually wheels and tires. Extra left over parts were Allison automatic from a AMT Ford C 600 and siren, side steps and front tow hooks from the AMT ALF pumper kit.  Fire extinguishers on rear bumper and hoses were from aftermarket  resin sellers.

Turned out great Tom!  Lots and lots of great detail work!  The conversions are all very well done!

Super nice build!

Really neat!  I have two of the pumper kits set aside for such a build!  The kits were part of Ollie’s $9.99 blowout around Christmas time.

That turned out great! It looks like those two kits were meant to go together.?

Nice work, well done, sorta reminds me of the old Tonka Pumpers from the mid 50's...

Followed the WIP. Great to see it finished. I amazed at how well the two scaled blend together. It came out really well.

Thanks for all the comments. It was a fun build, I look forward to seeing other mini pumper being created, just about any 1/25 pickup cab should work.
