I have to questions requarding emergency vehicles:
First, is there some company that makes aftermarket details for fire engines? Have Trumpeters LaFrance on the shelf, but I would like to have it more detailed. So what I'm looking for is things like helmets, air tanks, radios and stuff like that.
Second, on the subject of police vehicles. There are a lot of companies that makes markings for US police cars, but is there a company that makes markings for British police cars. I have on old Tamiya Volvo 850 that would look really good as a british police vehicle...

Hi Tom,
This is one modeling area I explored and bought, but haven't produced anything notable yet.
There are a few aftermarket EMS dealers, but the issue with these aftermarket companies is that they're often unstable because most are run by one person. Many quit due to poor sales, health reasons, retirement, natural disasters (like hurricanes), or they got another job. Others are "invitation only" before they'll custom-build parts for you.
Don Mills remains one of the leaders and is probably the most stable of them all. Check out his eBay auctions.

Chimneyville is the leader in emergency decals. You will also find parts and lightbars here too.
