Started with tamiya Aeromax

Converted to single axel

Whipped up a quick body, and figured out cab design

Few hours sanding filling and primer had the cab done

Re: Pumper Rescue

What a nice job! That pump panel,just blows me away! Dude! This baby is spot-on! I've seen some very nice builds over the years,& this one is right at the top of the list.

Re: Pumper Rescue

I 2nd that, I'm in the FD and that truck is dead on! Do tou have pics of the ladder truck build? great work!

Re: Pumper Rescue

This build has always amazed me. Looks real! What type of paint are you using to simulate the chrome on the bumpers and other parts?

Re: Pumper Rescue

this is one that needs a before and after picture placed in a new category on this forum

one that has nothing but one before and after picture and a link to the build

Thanks Freddy, pump panel is still not done, few more details to add and I have allready replaced all the decals with new high resolution ones, like everything on this truck it was a lot of work as you can't buy any of these detail parts, everything os scratch built.

I have lots of pics of the ladder, I will start a thread on that once this one is finished and I get back to work on it, it was actually the first one I did, the pumper is now #4 so the details are getting better and there are a number of things I want to change on the ladder.

The paint is called Liquid chrome and I got it thru Eastwood, stupid expensive and very difficult to get good results.

That is a good idea, let the mods know.

Re: Pumper Rescue

The ladder build is over at scale in the top builds section. Read it, it is worth all the pages. Thanks for posting this one here too Fish!
