Great history Dan, That is a good build for most of us by today's standards.

I recently found some of my old models from the early 70's so I know what the feeling is like.

Vintage or not it looks great!!...speaking of fire trucks have you checked out trump. ALF eagle?..I had a blast building mine, I have a feeling you could really do a number on one

Tom,

Thanks, my friend.

Brian,

I have a few of the Trumpeter kits and have a couple of projects in line; I just have to get to them. The Trumpeter kit is GREAT! I can't wait to get to them. Hang on ...

By the way, yours looks great!! Beautiful build.

Not a big fire rig builder myself, but I enjoy seeing them. Very cool model!

This is the oldest build I have. Like many, I built as a child, I built as a teenager, I built as a young adult, then resumed the hobby again later in life ... with gaps between each of those periods of building.

I've long entertained the idea of building a new version ~~ a build with the advantages of all the new technology ~~ just to kind of demonstrate the 'then vs now' advances in modeling. Who knows?

I have something you just might be interested in just check my link and let me know, maybe we can come to an agreement, (or anyone eles for that matter) This is an extremly rare kit by the way Modern fire engine kit
