This 1/35 kit from Heller has a colorful but unlikely "National Park Fire Dept." livery, and a nice illustration on the box. Jarek Skonieczny passed along this information: "Based on Heller's Jeep and Trailer kit #791, the jeep is molded in red and comes with paint, glue and a brush. Since the original kit included soldiers, one of the sprues in this fire kit comes with arms and legs mixed in with the jeep parts."

My favorite toys from Bozeman are made by Simms

We have a nice local shop up here called The Anglers Roost that carries all of their products.

They make nice things.

I never knew toys were maade in Bozeman. As a kid there was only Revel & Aurora.

I'm grabbing a copy of the Simms catalog. It boils my blood to see NAFTA making millions for many at the expense of many more. I can cross a bridge from Detroit to Windsor but try to mail a CD that far into Canada and you'll get a short course in international shipping rates.

No idea where they were based.
