I have been working on this model when I get frustrated with the confederate artillery model I have been building and thought I would show what I have done on it so far.

OMG! Where do you find fire truck model kits this is awesome. As a fire fighter I would love to combine the things I love
Been a bit since my last, so here is the progress so far. The glass is in the wheels together and the paint applied mostly. Its been slow I recently got a promotion and it is eating into the free time I was enjoying, but I do enjoy the work.

Got the cab finished other than decals and got more of the pumper section put together and painted. I am on the final assembly steps before decals and there are a lot of small parts to put on. I am hoping that I will have it finished by Tuesday or Wednesday, but probably next week.

Whoops. Made a mistake while building it. I put the seats to close to the inner edge and had to cut and file them back to fit. I filled the resulting gaps with milliput which after it dries I'll touch up the paint and clear coat it and then finish the final assembly

Did it come with 2 1/2" or 5" hose for the rear?

That looks fantastic! I really like all the perfect bright shiny chrome, it looks like the fire station crew just finished cleaning it up. A dirty weathered fire engine would just be wrong!
