Amazing job on this and your ESU truck! Just had a question on where you got the wheels from? They look perfect with the trucks. And here some pictures of the „wheel donor“

A few days later i noticed that the paintcoat had small little cracks all over
Obviously my genious idea with the spray can was a very very bad one
And if I would´ve allready all the graphics on, I for sure would´ve thrown the whole model in the bin!!!
So for the fourth time i removed the whole paint and painted this model only with the spray can
This time the paint was ok and I continued with the interior of the truck. Out of small styrene sheets and rods i created the inner door panels.

All the small letters and the graphics were printed on clear and white waterslide sheets, exept for the big FDNY letters, which I wanted to cut out of reflective foil.
Beeing easier said then done, for whatever reason now my printer drove me nuts
I used the same paper, same colour but after 6 wasted decal sheets I still hadn´t one useable printout???
At this point I took a step back, calmed down and left this build aside!
Since I also had the NYPD unit on my bench, I continued on that one

The strange thing was that as long as the paint wasn´t dry it looked ok
Anyway so with the third coat on, i again noticed the unpretty surface and wanted to remove all the paint again.
I later figured out that my airbrush compressor didn´t work properly so i had to much pressure which resulted in a very poor, "sandish" paintcoat
.Since my thinner got emtpy meanwhile I went to my "storage" and surprisingly found a Tamiya spray can, that I obviously forgot.
Hm....waiting for the new parts for my airbrush, or simply sand the surface and paint over it with the can?? (both paints were Tamiya anyway).
I choosed the second option and apparently it worked out.
With this done i also changed the mirrors, like on the ESU truck.

that concluded the main bodywork and painting followed.
That´s when the troubles with this build started
