hooknladderno1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi Gang, Lettering and graphics play an important role in the appearance of our models. On the build pictured below, I am torn between using the blue or the gold "PARAMEDIC RESCUE" lettering. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

alangarber Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The Blue stands out more but the Gold is the best choice and more realistic looking, It's almost reflective as well. Thats just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Gold, looks more like what would be rollin out of the fire house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trick my mixer Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I vote for the gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I like it both ways but the blue more matches the stripes to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooknladderno1 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi Guys, Thanks for your input! I have decided to stick with the gold. That was my original choice, but a little confirmation never hurts. There is a blue drop shadow underneath. It just appears black in the photo... I appreciate all of your suggestions!

Brinx Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hmmm, tough choice, How about leaving as is? That way you can have it both ways. Depending on how you display it, we can only see one side at a time anyway. brinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladderno1 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Brinx, Interesting concept! As I have a whole "Station" of apparatus for this company, I plan to take group photos. Most of this station's vehicles have either gold lettering with the blue drop shadow or plain blue... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scummy Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 What colour are the real ones in the states ? Here in australia the lettering is red reflective tape . The gold does look cool though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinx Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 David, You could always explain (blame) any difference in things such as lettering on the vehicle being ordered under the out-going chief or the different members on this year's truck committee. brinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
