Real nice OOB build on that one.

bilbirk, I have a complete walk around of the actual truck on the Scale Firehouse if you need it, along with a thread on correcting and detailing the kit in the forum.

Excellent build. We don't see trucks like that posted too often.Who makes the kit and what scale is it?

Long time no see!

Been kind of busy with ordinary life getting in the way of building. Anyway I got this beast ready for delivery just this saturday.

Worked like crazy starting 05.00 finished it by 07.25 the same day it was delivered, just to get a quick breakfast, a shower and then dash of for a 2½ hours drive to Stockholm to hand it over to the customer.
Logged 58 hours and 55 minutes on this build in effective time.


Well, this is what it came out like, just had a quick photoshoot on the roof outside of the balcony.









Some in-progress shots too.

How I hate these small pocket size cinemas! :wink:

On large chunk of plastic!

...and a load of pieces to get together, eventually.

It was built straight from the box with one exception, the hose up at the front. Hadn't the time to fill it with all the other ones up the back and at the pumper midship.
