Hey, I'm looking for a particular airport crash truck. I don't know who made it but think it was a lime colored Oshkosh DA-1800 like what D/FW Airport used to use. It articulates. I think it's a tad smaller than 1/50 scale, maybe close to 1/65 but I'm not sure. Anybody know what I'm talking about and where I can get one? Thanks, Mark

Conrad made these 1:50 versions of what you describe:

Make me an offer over $300 and I might consider selling one. :-)

Holy crash truck, Batman! That's the one but I never had any clue that it would be that much! Wow! Thanks for the information anyway Mike. Mark

Mark: I bet Mike is just pulling your leg. Try offering him $295 (plus postage, of course) and he'll probably sell you one....

You veddy funny man!

Mike,
Is $300 a realistic value for this truck? I have one but didn't realize that it's value had gone up this much.

Heck, I don't know. I'd be willing to go $100-150 but had no idea it was worth that much. Guess I'll have to do without it for a while.

Here are some pics of a new Ziegler Z8. Don't let the "Lime Guys" too near the screen...they'll drool all over the place.
