I am pretty sure this build thread can live here, if not, please tell me and help me move it.

I am sure that this kit, or others like it, have been built before so maybe mine will be a bit different. I would to build mine as a surplus-post-war fire fighting vehicle, similar to those seen in national parks, etc...There is no box art for this, but I did find this nifty photo:
Now, wouldn't that be fun? Of course it will mean scratch-building the pumps and hoses and all that stuff, but I think it might make for a neat little vehicle model.

And some resin additions that might be useful...ok, maybe not the barrels...😁
What say ye?
