Rescue Tools

Hi,

I am a FF/Medic. Just retired from the Navy as a Flight Medic. I build anything fire, rescue or helicopter. Try Scale Firehouse at  http://scalefirehouse.com/Home.htm

The have links to all kinds if metal and resin suppliers for commercial truck items that arde great for detailing fire and rescue vehicles.

 

 

Don Mills is about the only place I know that has any kind of 1/24 scale tools and stuff right now myself. I did have his product list on the scale firehouse but i just redid the site and have not yet gotten it back up. If you send me an email I can forward you a copy of his product list with his contact info.

I do have a few tutorials on the site though that may be helpful.  Tutorials

I don't know what is currently available as there was a recent change in ownership and the new owner is redoing alot of the molds but Model Truck and Fire Apparatus used to sell alot of model fire equipment, axes & pikepoles as well as larger items up to truck cabs. The new site is American Industrial Truck Models http://www.aitruckmodels.com/ you will still probably find a need to scratchbuild alot of stuff though.

A quick and easy kitbash for a mini-pumper is to use the pumper body off the 1/32 Monogram Mack CF, it is still fairly easy to find this kit. I believe you need to split it and widen the body but it is easier than scratchbuilding a whole body.

 

 

60,

I usually work with 1/72 or 1/35 scale armor kits. I have the Revell F-350 Duallie pick up and was going to make it into a mini pumper.

 Hey, fellow firefighter.
If anyone knows if there are kits of generators that could help, too. What scale do you need? I would think some of the tools would be fairly easy to scratchbuild...
