Model Building Kits, Parts, and Supplies for Emergency Vehicle Modelers

Now taking reservations for 2 New Brush Trucks, and others!

Wow, how time continues to fly!
SQUAD 51 kits are back in stock with another batch being built out as I write this. Aside from the COMPLETE version that has everything you need to build Squad 51, we have two other versions with fewer of the parts that match what you might find at 3 Inches Under or plastic Utility bodies on eBay just with better, crisper, cleaner parts.
We are also building out Pierce Mini-Pumpers, Ward LaFrance Engine 51s, and new Dodge Power Wagon kits.
DAVE LENCZEWSKI's American LaFrance 700 cabs are STILL AVAILABLE, and we are accepting orders for his SPARTAN Hi-Top and Flat Top cabs. His NEW 1999 American LaFrance 2000 cab should be available soon!
We also have all four of our Booster Reel kits IN STOCK plus many of our other parts including NEW FEDERAL Q and C2 mechanical sirens!
Our beacons are selling like hotcakes and have been a challenge to keep in stock (we are restocking weekly), but with our new printers (we got 2 new ones!) and with wife Maureen's outstanding help our turnaround times are continuing to improve. THANKS for your continued support and patience!!

Darren Roberts did a beautiful job building a model of Squad 51 using our Paramedic Wagon conversion kit and wrote about it in a great article available in the February 2023 Digital Download edition of FSM. And we've improved the kit since Darren purchased the one he used in the article! We've added a number of improved parts, made the kit easier to assemble, and now include a bodacious highly illustrated instruction manual that is 165+ slides on either a CD, USB stick, or Downloadable File.
We now have FOUR different Booster Reels kits to enhance your 1/25th scale models. Booster Reels are major focal points on any fire truck in any scale and they can be real attention getters or detractors from a lack of detail. If you are a modeler, there have been few high-quality options available, and parts are limited. BUT, our new Booster Reel kits solve that and more! With over 30 parts and the flexibility to build the reel to be as wide or narrow as needed to fit the specific requirements your model, you have the ability with our kits to build the reel and framework separately so that you can paint the parts, fill the reel with the hose if your choosing, and then combine the finished sub-assemblies! And our parts are printed in-house on a high quality SLA resin printer to give you much better part resolution and a smoother plastic finish.
Now Available:
Vintage "Bicycle Wheel" 1940s-1950s Reel & Frame
Classic Open Frame 1950s-1970s style Reels & Frames
Large Hannay-style for Large recent model Pumpers
Small Hannay-style reels & frames for Smaller Brush Trucks
More detail, better quality parts, more building options, and as always, great instructions - all that at a great price too. In our SHOP now! SEE NEW PRODUCTS BELOW!
