I see. It sounds interesting. I have several project on the back burner that would fit in. June 30th is far enough off for me to put together some research. I just got a Modelhuas 85’ Impala which I’d like to model a cruiser from my local PD from the 80’s. I can’t remember which light bar they used back then. Hoping a trip to the Police museum will clear some things up. Count me in.
Great to have you onboard with us. Looks to be a nice variety of builds so far.
Chris, Start and end dates are smooth for me!!! Count me in buddy!!! Now, I have to just figure out what I want to build. I was looking at some World War I and II Emergency vehicles, or perhaps a police vehicle (Helo, bike, or car). I will make up my mind in a week or two, and let you know what I’ll go with then. I’ll also see if I can round up a couple of more people to join us!!! Can’t WAIT!!!
Excellent Heath! Looking more and more forward to the build. Looking like it’ll be a good one.
Well, guys, you can count me in. I went to the hobbyshop today and got myself two canadairs, one to build and one ‘disect’, since I want to enlarge one for R/C with two Speed 480’s.
Sounds cool Dan. Look forward to seeing that built.
This seems cool. I’d like to join. I’m pretty much a beginner and have been wanting to join a GB, plus I have never built any type of emergency vehicle so it should be fun. I’m not sure what Im gonna build yet, I’ll have to look for something next time im at the LHS.

Great, no high skill level requirement to join in, hopefully we will all learn a thing or two during the build. Glad to have in it.
Stickie-ing this topic, per Lizardqing2’s request. Have fun, folks–and don’t forget to post pix of the finished models!
Would a MASH helicopter fit in here?
I have a 1/72 scale OH 13 that I’ve been wanting to kitbash into a MASH helicopter. The challenge will be making the dust shields for the stretchers, and the biggest difficulty will be getting the decals for a MASH helicopter in 1/72 scale.
If this project would be acceptable for this build, I’ll offer a firm maybe to joining his build; conditional upon my being able to find some decals that I could use.
Can’t say no Duke, would be glad to have you. You might be able to attempt makenig the decals yourself.
Hey everyone, who makes a good firetruck?? what scale, and can you point me towards the correct site??? Or maybe an ambulance?? I was thinking of a helo or something, but I thought it would be cool to go way out beyond my usual interests and try out a firetruck or ambulance. Perhaps, I’ll end up hooked like Dave!!!??? LOL Thanks
That would definatly be a question for Dave. The only one I have built is the AMT ladder that I am doing right now, still. There really are not to many choices outside scratchbuilding them. Hopefully Dave will be along soon.
hi guy’s, i’m back… as for your question kik, here’s what we have to choose from, revell has a 1/32 scale mack pumper(snap kit) out, it was re-issued with a malibu police car, you may be able to still find these, either at hobby shops or ebay, the 3 AMT A.LF. trucks were out last year, they should still be able to be found on ebay as well… revell ag (germany) made a peterbuilt pumper, it to can be found on ebay, rather high priced, usually start around 80 bucks. as for an ambulance, amt made the ‘rescue 911’ dodge van, no medical equipment with this kit, just light bars, johan made a '66 cadillac, though long out of production, it was a true ‘ambulance’, with stretcher, and all the goodies, again, try ebay, they start around 20/25 bucks… on a side note, while i was at the cincinnati challenge a couple week ago, i spoke with OKEY SPAULDING, he’s the one thats bringing back JOHAN, and he told me they do have plans on re-issueing the caddy ambulance, i cant wait… also, if you have seen the johan '59 rambler, it has decals and light to make it into an ambulance, though it does not have any inside equipment… hope this helps some. my current build is the AMT ‘A-TEAM’ van, converting it into a hightop ambulance. once i get my computer back, i will post some pics of it for you guys to check out.[:D][:D]
Sweet deal Dave, thanks for the info…it’s a bit late, and I have to get to bed, but I am gonna jump on hunting those down this weekend!!! Can’t wait to see the A-Team Van!!! LOL
your welcome kik, i got my home computer back today, so i should get some pics posted of the ambulance in the morning.[tup][tup]
About time you got it back Dave. Been going through Firemodelman’s pic withdrawls [:D]
[:D][:D], chris, a hershey bar with almonds will take care of that[swg][swg], got some pics of it up, check out the topic i posted on it.
Hmmmm, count me in too! I’ve got a Grumman F7F Tigercat that I’ve been wanting to build as a firefighter. My dad sketched one we were watching fighting a fire in 1971 and I’ve got the resin belly tank just waiting to be built.
Now, I’ve got to get off my dead behind and finish my other projects!
Cool deal Mojo. That should be pretty cool to see. So do you still have the sketch from 1971?
