MORE: I enjoy kit bashing and collecting model fire apparatus. I keep most of my apparatus in my "model fire company" it has 5 stations, and the rigs in it are constantly changing. The rest of my die cast goes on a table with shelves or in to a display case I hand crafted in my school shop. I love to chat and post on the message board, and work on my website. I also love taking photos of fire apparatus (espcially FDNY, and NYPD SOD)

What is kit bashing?

Kit bashing is taking models such as Code 3 or Corgi and turning them into one of a kinds.

Kit bashers will change everything from paint and lettering to bodies and chassis.

If you go to www.fireengines.net there is a whole section dedicated to this hobby.

An example of kitbashing:

Somebody buys one of Code 3 Collectible's Mack CF releases like this one:

Then they chop it up, remodel and add stuff, and repaint it......to make it look like, lets say, Engine 119. LOL
