Working on a list of freeware Japanese models: Fire Department Sections
The past months I've spent a lot of time searching Japanese websites for free models. I found a lot.
At the moment I'm working on a list of Fire and Rescue related models I've downloaded. I'm sorting out models from 140 different fire departments or related organisations. Please consider this as a work in progress, some sites need to be re-visited for the links and correct prefecture of the city. If a cityname is written in blue, then there's a working link. The links are provided in the attached xls file, wich will be updated in the near future. I do not claim this to be the ultimate file, so if you think there's a something missing, please let me know in your comments... Aichi Prefecture: Ama - ambulance, rescue, tank-pump Handa, Kanie, Tokoname Owariasahi - rescue, tank-pump Chiba Prefecture: Ichihara, Ichikawa, Inzai, Matsudo, Sakae, Sanbukoki Ehime Prefecture: Niihama - ambulance, pump Uwajima - ambulance Fukuoka Prefecture: Chikugo - ambulance, ladder, pump - Iizuka - ambulance (6x), ladder (2x), pump (6x) rescue (2x), tank-pump (5x) = 21 models!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kasuga - ambulance, chemical fire, ladder, rescue, tank-pump Kurume - ambulance, ladder, pump Fukushima Prefecture: Fukushima, Koriyama Gifu Prefecture: Gujo - ambulance, pump Takayama Gunma Prefecture: Ota, Shibukawa Hiroshima Prefecture: Etajima, Fuchu Hokkaido Prefecture: Abashiri, Asahikawa, Bibai, Chitose, Iwamizawa, Sapporo, Wakkanai Otaru - ambulance, helikopter, pump, rescue, tank-pump Shibetsu - ambulance, pump Toyoura - command vehicle, pump Hyogo Prefecture: Itami, Takarazuka Aioi - pump (2x) Ono - ambulance (3x), chemical_fire, crane, pump (2x), rescue, tank-pump (4x) Ibaraki Prefecture: Ishioka Kagawa Prefecture: Marugame, Takamatsu Mitoyo - ambulance, ladder, rescue Kagoshima Prefecture: Ibusuki, Satsuma --- to be continued -- That's it for the moment, daily life is waiting....... I'll be back..... |

Nice work, but I think those links won't be working untill you have made 10 posts, It's the way the forum is protected from spambots, but maybe one of the admins can have a look in this matter

a few remarks: most models are designed by Hiroyasu Kato, and there's no need to make recolors of the models, because he already did (there is a lot of variety in paintschemes e.d) Mr Kato also makes payware models, so all copyright belongs to him scale i haven't figured out in what scale these models are, but here are some general specifications i found on several websites: ladder trucks: width = between 2400 mm - 2490 mm = 7 feet 10 31/64 inches large trucks (pumps, rescue, chemical fire etc) = between 2225 mm - 2300 mm = 7 feet 6 inches small trucks = 1900 mm = 6 feet 3 inches ambulance nissan (= nissan elgrand) = 1900 mm = 6 feet 3 inches ambulance toyota = 1880 mm = 6 feet 2 inches mitsubishi (fuso) trucks are mostly from the "canter" type or "super great" type hino trucks are mostly from the "ranger" type. hino also makes a special chassis for ladder trucks, these are called "hino mh" light trucks from isuzu are the "elf" type i'll try to finish this job this weekend (or i try to get as far as i can), but the weather is nice in the netherlands, and the women are beatiful on the beach |

version 1.2: 500 models
this is the result so far, still not all models i've found have been included.......but i think these link to 560 files ( about 500 models ) should give you a good headstart.
i have my doubts i will be able to finish this list before the end of august.. i've included the list as i made it for my personal use, that should explain the "engrish" enjoy!!!!!! |
