Great idea Chad!

Heller has a GMC firetruck, but without a tank and solid cabin. Perhaps the picture is a bit of a reference.

Looking forward to your entry!

Thanks for the link and the pic On mine I think I'll make it a hard cab Not sure if the Italeri parts would line up well with the Tamiya parts

Chad

Portrayal Press www.portrayal.com has a small book "US Army Fire Trucks at War" catalog #FTAW for $16 + S/H which is a WW2 identification guide.

They have a lot of TM's but I don't see any fire truck specific ...

I took a quick look thru my stuff but see nothing -- I'll keep looking ...

Chad:

Go to My Gallery, Miscellaneous Album & you'll find 4 pix from the 2-1/2 TM that might be useful to you. Sorry it's the best I can do so far.

I think this link will get you there direct (rather than me posting pix in your thread).
