I figured the snorkel was just the right size for a rig like that. Normally these are manned by one person, locally the Air Cascade truck responds on all working fires to switch out and or fill bottles.
My original plan was to just cover the whole rear section, however I figured the extra coffins boxes could stay. Removing the boom and a few other parts was easy, I thought about doing this two tone however, I liked the color and left it all the same. Removing the decals was a snap.
The roll ups were re-covered with decals from Micro-Scale a stainless steel color, the patch is from Micro-scale also. Once everything was removed I knew I wanted the red dual stripe, I used InQuarters decals for the Stripe (DC sheet) and everything else. All the other parts are from other Fire Replica models. The light bar on the roof is from a Code 3 truck.
Enjoy the transformation pictures. You have to look close to find all the differences. I think next week the real FR February trucks will be shipping!
