Police Tow

 

 Boley made some pretty junkie military vehicles but their police and fire vehicles are great.

 Look at the diamond plate on the deck, it's great.

This is right out of the box, no assembly and no paint touch up.

That grill is painted.

This is part of my police project.

This Tootsietoy car fits well on the back end.

I got the truck from my friend Randy at Fidelis.

You didn't like Boley Military? I have a couple of their pieces, that I thought were pretty good - in particular I thought their 8-wheel cargo trucks (HMMWT), in multiple wersions were pretty good; as was their M-48 based scissors bridge; I don't have any, but their jagdpanther, Tiger 1, and M-10 TD looked ok. I agree the Bradleys, MLRS, and Hummers were pretty bad...

Boley Military used the same tracks for the Bradley and the Abrams, they were too short for the Abrams. The Abrams was a copy of the Roco turret without the machine guns or hatches! The Bradley has a stubby gun that was about 1/8th the right length. Several mistakes that that which were in-excusable, even at their low cost point. I have a number of them, I use them as the basis for conversions.

Yeah, the Bradleys (and the MLRS, on the same chassis) were terrible; way out of scale proportionately, besides being ugly. I got a few as freebies from Ebay (I intentionally bought the Hemmt trucks, and these others were part of the auction lot) but I can't use them for anything. I love the Hemmts though; and the throw-in M-48 scissors bridge was pretty good too; a little bit out of HO scale, but close enough to not matter. And, like I previously posted, I don't have any of the Tiger 1s, but the pictures I've seen look pretty good - and they have to be less fragile than the Roco model. Although, if we're talking Tiger 1s, the Tomy and Corgi HO scale models are the best...
