Does anybody make this siren?

Check out Dave Parsley on FB, he makes all kinds of unique stuff, he might have that.

I don't think Dave has anything like that. You might try Charlie as he has made older models of fire apparatus

If you DIY I would start with rear of Johan LAPD siren back and work my way forward.

good luck

Try "Three Inches Under" on Etsy. He has a lot of resin Fire/EMS accessories, including stuff for the old Johan ambulance/hearse kits.

Hey, Steven:  That's a real oddball.  Not one that has been made for models that I know of.   Looks like it would have to be a kitbash project.

Found a guy in Canada who 3D printed some for me. They're great.

Indeed!  If it's good, I'll need a couple, too!  Thanks, Steven.

Sorry it took so long but had to figure out how to get a pic from my phone to my desktop. Not an easy task, BTW. X-Acto knife is for size comparison.

Would you please post some more photos of the model siren as I would like to see the front, I've never have seen such an 'art deco' siren like that. Is the real picture from a Seagrave or Bickle? With that tilted light you wonder if it was a boat siren.

Judging from the size of the Xacto blade that siren would be about 12 scale inches long.  About right, I guess.  Wonder how it will polish up!

I hit it with Revell Chrome spray and it looks great. When I get both (the rig has two, musta been a loud mother) mounted I'll post another pic.

Here it is all done and ready for my model club's same kit contest, 1937 Ford P/U, in December.

I finally found the real thing: Federal model Z siren:

From F.F. Hicks collection
