Fire Apparatus Model Forums

Got some time over the weekend to work on my Hongwell projects. These 97 Crown Vic's were nice models. Much more detailed than the Road Champs we had. They had rubber tires, full interiors, and some detail painting not see on the cheaper Road Champs. The white/gray is the older Uwchlan Township Police in PA, and the white/red will be an Atlanta Fire BC unit. The Atlanta unit has wheels, tires and dog dish hubcaps that were made by First Response Replicas, but were never released for retail or put on a model. Dennis and I split a custom run of parts and these were part of the run. I have all of the inventory, and will make sets of them available after the new year. They were designed around the Diplomat and White Rose Caprice, but will work just as well on anything else. The Hongwell axles were wire thin, so I had to cut a new groove and use a smaller diameter axle for them.

I agree about the Hongwell Crown Vic's. Pretty nice little models. I've got one that I've been meaning to turn into a Georgia State Police car one of these days. I'll have to get a set of Wheels/tires from you when you make the available.

Thanks for sharing

Wow that looks great
