Looking for someone who sells, makes, decals for fire department vehicles in 1/25 scale.  I am about to start a Fire Chief vehicle from the '60s and I don't like what I see on Ebay.

Anyone know of a source?

InQuarters makes good stuff, but it's mostly for 1:64. They have one generic fire sheet in 1:24/25.

K4 Decals makes this generic set of fire apparatus markings in multiple scales:

CMR Products/Netzlof Design has a few sets of generic fire decals, including a sheet of department names, but they're listed as 1:29 scale:

STS Decals has a generic FD gold set that might be period appropriate:

You can also check eBay and the like for older (out of print) Chimneyville Hobbies generic fire decals, which were mainly door badges in different colors. 

 

Many fire vehicles in that era (1960s) did not have very complicated markings or a bunch of equipment. Just the department name on the door, and a warning light was pretty common. This was especially true with smaller departments, but even FDNY at that time had red trucks with simple gold lettering for a lot of their equipment.
