This cab was a SJS resin cab I bought 2 from Sourkraut Models. Paul Edited June 21, 2018 by 41CHEVY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornbinder Posted June 21, 2018 Star probably still has R&R stuff in stock, but there's no new stuff being cast. The owner Ray Parsons passed away several years ago. I think his cab was originally done by SJS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is currently working his way through them and getting them ready to add to his catalog. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsldriver Posted June 23, 2018 Paul, I'd like to feature this truck in the next issue of Classic Truck Modeler. We will be featuring fire trucks for that issue. Would that be okay with you? Even better if you would like to write up a bit of an article about it. You can e-mail me at editor@classictruckmodelermag.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
