ALF Century CAB

[chrismooney]

Overall The casting in clean w/o and air holes in the outside finish.. the inside has maybe one or two (on my sample) but once built they will never be seen. Dave has some great molding and casting skills.

The fine details... what can I say.. if you have seen the Ward LaFrance grill you know Dave’s attention to detail. the separate vents are sweet! along with the fine and to scale diamond plate lower nose panel and bumper extension... also the Diamond plate front door steps are very nice and clean.. these parts have no Air holes or pin marks and will look great either with Alcad, Bare Metal Foil or even chrome Krylon paint.

The rear jump seat area is a nice touch to the cab as it eliminated the scratch building of a new jump seat and allows the builder to place this cab onto the AMT ALF Pumper Ladder or Aero chief body with very little modifications... A true user friendly feature.

Now a new feature from Dave, would be the vacuumed formed windows. They are a well formed window that is nice and thin. the side windows have the correct curve and ever curve out were they should these should be no problem to put in even for someone new to resin kit's.

Just a note for building being the fenders are separate and on the one to one units were Chrome you should either attach the fenders before painting and then after final coat apply Bare Metal Foil or leave off and Alcad them. the side vents should be sanded to fit and then applied as one of the last detail pieces...

All I can say is another great product from our own Cargostar AKA Dave Carey
