Sorry, none out there that I know of. There was one that someone converted from the Italeri HEMMT into a new Oshkosh firetruck for the US Army. It looks pretty cool.

This is the truck I saw a model of.


No kits out there though. The only modern(ish) firetruck kit I know of in 1/32 scale is the Revell snap-tite Mack.
Bad picture, but here is the Revell one.


In 1/35, there is the Heller Fire Service WWII Duece-and-a-half.

Are you looking for modern or older? I can pretty much assure you that there is probally no kits especially in 1/35, but I might be able to point in a direction that could be kitbashed into what you are looking for. The only crash truck that I know of is an OOP Revell - Germany 8x8 Simba. They can be found sometimes but you will have to fork out a good bit.

Here are a good bit of the fire truck kits that have been produced. There are a few more that I am still working on adding to the page.

In the Oct 1990 issue of Scale Model Enthusiast (issue#69) there is an article by Tim Bongard about scratch building an Oshkosh P-15 crash truck. There are line drawings and conversion scales for 1/25, 1/32 & 1/87 scale models. I'm not sure if Kambach still has this in their back issue colllection . If your into scratch building this may be what your looking for.
