Re: ALF 79

NOT JUST A REPAINT BUT EVEN WORST A **** POOR RE NUMBER

Location: PA.

Re: ALF 79

Matt, Actually the green light is standard on the officer's side. I believe when these were delivered they had red lights and the shops added the green. Many times when the green light burned out the Company was lucky to get a replacement red light if no green were in stock. Most of the time the members purchased the green on there own.

As far as truck 15 goes, it should have been Truck 5 so it would match the Engine 18 where Truck 5 was quartered. maybe an easy fix to remove the 1. Yet another ill advised piece.

Re: ALF 79

Actually it looks pretty good to me. I am not buying it, but it doesn't look bad at all.

Re: ALF 79

FUBAR ala Gettyburg.. nice paint job on the cab (front of the windshield).. lack of attention to detail will ruin an otherwise nice model.

Re: ALF 79

The design of the cab looks bad to me. The top of the windshield looks too squared off. The ALF's had a much rounder top. Also, the jump seats don't flare out enough. The real ones came out several inches. This allowed for the side engine cooling intake vents. C3's look like they're almost flush. Again...C3 ALMOST gets it...but no winner.
