Busch American LaFrance

This Busch American LaFrance is still being detailed and is not complete.  Even though most of my focus is construction vehicles, being an active volunteer firefighter for more 20 years, I do have models of emergency service apparatus.  I also collect any passenger vehicle that appeals to me with a emphasis on Mopar.  Which seems to be on of the more popular licensed vehicles in our scale, at least from a North American prospective.   The original Busch model was lacking a lot of detail.  The most noticeable was the absence of a load of hose in the hose bed.  I used aluminium foil to create a hose bed cover.  I added A-line windshield wipers.  I used wire for the grab-rail on the back of the cab.  I also installed rails on the sides of the hose bed.  The red warning lights facing forward on the cab were made using Sheepscot headlights and applying MV lenses in them. More pictures will posted when it is complete.
