Hey to everyone. I have been collecting and building model fire apparatus for about 30 years or so.I currently have around 2,200 pieces that range from Micro Machines to Tonkas with everything in between.As far building them goes,I mostly enjoy building 1/32 scale the most although I do build a lot of 1/25 scale apparatus as well.I try to replicate apparatus that I've either ridden on or been around at some point,focusing on the older stuff.The second and the third pic are of a replica of a 1970 Mack CF that Allentown Road bought from the FDNY.

We have a 70's model pumper /ford regular cab still stocked that they would like to get rid of at our station. We need to make room. It needs a little love on the engine, gas 460, but would look great in someones collection. If you need details let me know. i can ask about the $ but they were talking mininual.

Nice,Job on those William.I really like the white and black paint scheme.I have a kit bashed Ford C-Series Chassis Cab and what was left of a ALF Pumper from My Bone yard,pinted red over the bottom part of the cab and scraped off the old paint on the body an repainted it red with adding rust colored enamel to the roughspots,with a small For Sale sign taped to the window.I dont have any pics of it,as My Dad took it to his house.I'll post one as soon as i can
