These are two military fire apparatus models that I have built. First is a USAF 1954 WdLaFr 750A pumper and a USA Class 530A Reo/Howe.

The Ward LaFrance is a real work of art. Did you start with a kit or was this built from scratch? Either way you have built a keeper!

Some of you may remember that I was looking for a discontinued Corgi, Seagrave (Detroit) Safety Sedan pumper model #50504. Many of you gave me tips etc which I investigated every one of them. However, after nearly three years we can call off the hounds -- I have the fox. I found it from a tip from one of our friends that visits this site from time to time; it was on eBay and I ordered it - - it has been shipped! Thanks to all for putting up with me mentioning thiis every so often - - -
