'96 Ford Crown Victoria Fire Chief's Car
Posted by hooknladderno1 on Saturday, August 28, 2010 8:08 AM

Hi Gang,

Recently finished my hometown's 1996 Ford Crown Vic Fire Chief's vehicle.  The model is based on the Lindberg kit, and features two-tone paint inside and out, custom decals and license plates, and lots of detailing.  I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  I am currently working on several of the department's other apparatus, both past and present .  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for looking.  Big Smile

Wow! Hard to distinguish from the real one and your model! Don't see too many of these built up these days, yours is very nice.Yes

I'd really like to apologize now for anything I may say or do later that offends you. Thank you.

wonderful work!!! I too am very saddened by the manufacturer's lack of emergency vehicles in their lines. All I ever see is the old American LaFrance trucks by AMT, the Lindberg Crown Vic, and a rare Johann Ambulance! You'd think they'd have a clue!

You'd think they'd have a clue!

I don't know, but I think they may start cranking them out a little more, since the FSM poll on most wanted kits.  #1 in the auto category was emergency vehicles.

Good news, however, is that it's easy to scratch-build, and add aftermarket detail, to a stock model, like the Monogram re-release Ford F-250, to get different emergency vehicles. If you want, you can do your own building up of stock models while you are waiting for the new release (That's what I'm doin)

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all of your kind comments!  For those of you looking for a site just for emergency vehicle modelers, check out this link:

http://scalefirehouse.com/sfh_chat/index.php?sid=76f2222367ff385c54c9d01074d84e20

The Scale Firehouse is a great site for emergency vehicle modelers of all levels.  There is a great fellowship of members who share their knowledge, talent, techniques, and resources.  It is great to see what new products are availabe, or how to make something unique.  Especially as there are a limited number of emergency vehicle subjects available from the major manufacturers.  As most fire apparatus is a series of basic shapes, really the possibilites are endless.  By breaking down even the most complex collections of equipment into their basic shapes, anything is possible.  There is a great wealth of information at the Scale Firehouse.  If you haven't visited it before, or recently, check it out!  Happy building.
