I'm 59 years old, I started building model airplanes with my dad who was an Air Force veteran...he was also a volunteer firefighter along with my grandfather...thus the love of the fire department. I switched to building model trucks in the 70's and 80's with the big rig CB craze and that naturally morphed into scratch building fire trucks. I got hired as a firefighter with Fairfax County, Virg...

Chapter 2 Rich

Rich Middlekauff, 66 years old. Carlisle, Pa. I built my first fire truck model, an Aurora ALF pumper kit, when I was 7 years old. I bought it with Christmas money for a whopping $9.95. I am sure it was a glue bomb but in my mind’s eye it was the greatest model fire engine ever assembled. I built probably a dozen of these kits and then turned every truck kit I could get my hands on into a fire ...

    John, was from the start, one of the leaders of model fire apparatus builds. His 1/32 scale work using just the basic parts of the Aurora kit, then adding to them, with wooden ladders & aluminum turned parts! The detail to all the equipment & gear, stoded on the running board, during that time. John was never afraid of tackling a different rig, east or west coast! 👏👏👏🚒👑
