What scale are you looking at building the P-2 as - 1/72, 1/48, etc? Have you considered doing an O-11A or B? (see attached)īest of luck on the build - will be glad to share any photos or data I have on the O-11s. I copied those and use a combination of the computer & a copy machine to resized the card template to 1/35. I was lucky in finding a web site that had a design and templates for a card stock model of the 530B. It has gotten a couple of awards at shows, but it has to compete in categories where fire trucks are not seen i.e. As former AF "Ramp Rat" & fire fighter, I thought the conversion of an Army 2 1/2 toner to the Class 530 would be easy - keep the cab & frame from the kit and build be new body - it was all straight lines and 90 degree angles - yea right! After a cardboard template and a two styrene sheet plastic attempts, I came out with what you see attached. Your issues with lengths & angles sound just like the problems I had in scratch building an AF Class 530B (Series 1) crash rescue truck.

I know you wanted to do a model of your fathers' truck, but have you considered using a different tractor (one that AMT now makes?) The Series 700 truck photo I sent you was upgraded in 1980 with a Mack CF tractor, so this type change is not unusual. It has minor flash and require minimal clean up.
This panel is typical of those used by American LaFrance in the early 1970s. The panel measures approximately 2 1/4 X 2. Sorry to hear about the issues with the articulated ALF. This is a resin pump control panel for 1/24 and 1/25 scale model fire trucks.
