          Trumpeter ALF, I built this kit pretty much box stock.  The custom items are scratch built SCBA's in the jump seats, I had JBot make custom deals to match my fire co. logo's, The hoses are made from fabric with the resin 5" connections and a smaller width fabric for the hand lines, the hydrant asst value is scratch built, this is the value that is on the rear trail board, the pump panel gauges are hand painted to comply with NFPA color coding. The turn signal arrows in rear and front are hand painted. The ladder boat cover is made from card stock paper followinga how to article from Scale fire house.  Justin Sorrentino

                I was contracted to do paint and decal work on this monster. It is a 1/8 scale mobile Dentist's Office that was made of some type of resin for Dental Access. I have a picture of it next to a 1/25 scale GMC Astro 95 and Wilson Livestock Trailer I'm working on for the purpose of showing the shear size of this thing. I had to paint it with an automotive HVLP spray gun (to get an even glossy finish) and I did all the logos at home on my computer with a decal maker program.      Mike Ramp
