Hey, does anyone know where I can find some modern American firefighters in bunker gear in HO gauge or 1/87 scale? No, I don't want the Model Power set from way back when. Thanks! Mark

Hey Paul, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for more modern firefighters but I guess these are better than nothing. Sure, I'll take the extras you have off your hands if you like. E-mail me at unmarkedcarr@aol.com and let me know the specifics. Thanks! Mark

Dick, I got the firefighter figures you sent today. Thank you. I'm still looking, though, for 1/87 scale modern American firefighters. Haven't found any yet.

You may have to but some different sets. Then cut and piece and/or repaint.

Thanks Jeff, I was afraid of that. I guess I'll have to brave painting some. Twas hoping to be able to avoid that. Thanks for the links.
