1:43 Ford F-350 LA County FD Lifeguard

Post by Hazmat » Sat Apr 24, 2021 12:18 am

Hi everybody,

It’s been a while since I posted a project, so now another model I just finished :D .
This one is again a conversion of the 1:43 scale 2008 Ford F-Types from New Ray.
The vehicle is a replica of the Lifeguard units used by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. With all the red emergency vehicles I had done, I wanted to break my color habit a little :lol:
Like the former builds I cut away the rear bed, shortened the extended to a single cab version, build an entirely new rear section with all the equipment, the front pushbar and for the first time, off-road wheels. Those wheels are an almost perfect match to the real ones, used on those vehicles.
Enough said, enjoy the pictures 8-)

As mentioned, these parts are all selfmade out of styrene sheet, rods and remains of the former IXO FDNY Seagrave Engine hoses
as Life wests :D But as also mentioned I will post the building progress to this truck within the next few days 8-)
