Bill Ayer Posted September 20, 2022 I have built 1/25 truck models for many years but haven't shared much. I've never been a trucker, just a fan. Also a fire buff, and own 2 antique fire trucks. Not much of a computer guy, so I need to learn how this works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Ayer Posted September 21, 2022 I have to learn how this works. I'll try to attach a couple of photos. These are model I have built of my trucks. First is my 1942 American LaFrance, then my 1946 Kenworth, and then my 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chariots of Fire Posted September 21, 2022 Nice work, Bill. Have seen your work in Vintage Fire Truck magazine. Any new fire projects on the bench? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny M Posted September 22, 2022 Really sweet models, Bill. Good job on the black rubber windshield gaskets on the old KW. Nice touch. Johnny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Ayer Posted September 23, 2022 I'll try to show some other models here. I'm really into Kenworths, especially fire trucks so here are a couple I've done. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chariots of Fire Posted September 27, 2022 Done a few myself. I like your M-715. Here's one I did a few months back. A "surplus" piece given a second life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to show what I've just been working on. You probably know the Revell Unimog kits and the Yellow Submarine kit, and I combined them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chariots of Fire Posted October 3, 2022 I recognize the Effer crane. I used one on a FD service vehicle some years ago. This is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
