Jeff_C Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Here is a mildly modified Trumpeter ALF Eagle. I scratch built the rooftop A/C unit, corrected the pull handles on the pump panel, added discharge covers and retainer chains, added additional compartments, the lightbars were also scratch built, etc. The decals were from Diecast n Decals, the paint is Model Master.

phasephantomphixer Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Super Sweet. The extras sure help realism and personalize it. I am considering doing mine of the local unit "City of Everett". I will have to slightly weather the running gear and tires, as it is always out and about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff_C Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys, This is the second one I've built. The first is now pretty much a "test mule" for the one I'm working on now which is a rescue pumper with a raised roof cab, extended chassis, cross lays, hose reel, high side compartments, heavy duty winch bumper, powered ladder rack, etc. I'll try and post some pics of "The Beast" this weekend. In the meantime here is the mule with the new body: And the mule with the winch bumper: Edited June 29, 2012 by Jeff_C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Wow Jeff, your first engine, test mule, looks awesome. I love fire truck. At our local club a member did a complete ladder truck out of scratch. Only things he stole from the Trumpy kits was the rims/tires. I'll see if I can do load pics and share with you here. In the mean time, keep up the good work :) Mike Edited September 17, 2012 by Youngtiger1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
