Fire Open Kit Bash
From: Bob Powers
This was made with a Code 3 NYPD International/Saulsbury.
The body of the truck was mostly scratch built and what wasn't scratch built was
modified to resemble the real FDNY TSU 1. The boat if from Boley due to the
original boat being too big and the auto crane was shortened to fit the light
tower box on it.
From: Chris Osterhoudt
This was a Code3 Hoffman Estates Ladder, and an Indy ALF
Tower. No serious modifications other than splicing the two chassis. Added
a few extra toolboxes and scene lights. All the outriggers work, ladder
telescopes and rotates.

A Code 3 Sutphen membership pumper. Major modifications
are, chopping off the roof, extending the entire chassis and pump panel area to
give the impression of a bigger water tank, and extending hose bed area. All new
paint and a few extras. The toolboxes are molded from other boxes on Code 3
models. Roadblocker Decals, and don't miss the bell on the front bumper.

This is Hook & Ladder 21
for my factious Dept.
It is a Sutphen cab with
an LTI ladder. I stripped the paint off both models. I fixed the turning
wheel from the LTI cab to the Sutphen. The roll up doors behind the cab are
from 2 Sutphen models. I have added extra warning lights under the rear of
the deck. I also added a ladder to the tillermans cab and a shorter ground
ladder on that side. The decals are by road blockers. I had the paint made
for a previous project.

The models is based on a
Sutphen tanker/engine. It is numbered as E21 for my factious Dept.
I used 2 membership
Sutphens for this truck. After stripping the parts and paint off, I cut the
bodies. One in front of the rear axle and one behind the axle.
This was done with a
hacksaw, I then had to file and sand the bodies so that they fitted back
together. I used brass square beams and Tamiya Epoxy Putty to fix the parts
together. After reassembly I painted the truck and added the decals. I than
put everything else back in place. The hose bed cover is an old piece of
hose patching fabric. The decals are from Roadblockers and the paint is from
Tamiya.
