For anyone out there that is into H.O scale model railroading or collecting 1/87 scale (H.O.) model vehicles, you'll want to see the 1/87 scale Thunderbolt kit that is now available. And yes, it's painted in glorious Civil Defense Yellow!
This is a non-operating model and only costs $10.00 and is made of resin. Go to www.ralphratcliffemodels.com and click on "Catalog" and you'll see the T-Bolt right away. Ralph also has Federal Models 2 and 5 siren kits and a Federal STH-10 kit as well. I have these and they are very well detailed. They also come with wooden telephone poles to mount your sirens on, as well as the control boxes, and the screen, standpipe and blower box for the T-Bolt.
If you do buy one of these kits, I recommend that you use super glue to adhese the parts together, because regular model glue for plastic kits won't work on these resin kits. Assemble the model first and then paint it. That's what I did with my other siren kits and this worked extremely well.
So if you've ever wanted to own a T-Bolt but can't afford one, here's your chance! I know I plan on buying one of these kits.
