1/4” too long? Thought that kinda stuff only happened to me! Oh wait, in my case woulda been 1/4” too short, and even then only after painting it, LOL. Nice progress so far, looks like quality!

Missing the traditional Dalmatian mascot, but otherwise exceeds all expectations with the addition of all that gear in the back, LOL! I was already impressed with the full tool lockers and now this! They just keep getting better and better, Charlie, congratulations! I figure it took about ten weeks,...

Nice contemporary styling on the fire body, and the blue colour is certainly unique, it’s gonna be a real eye-catcher!

Looking Good! Time to see the Quartermaster in Central Stores and get her supplied! Or, more correctly, visit Payless for some shoelaces, LOL

Wait, there is a ladder that goes into a drop-down rack on the right side, no? Some more engineering needed for that

Wow, such a great job on the body, the compartment doors are so neatly done, then paint and quite detailed striping and logos to top it off! Thanks for the detailed how-to photos as well!

Nice job on that fancy ball valve, looks bang on! I see tabs soldered onto a circle of brass wire, with the rest ‘just’ plastic offcuts, placed strategically, easy enough until one considers the size! Pretty amazing miniaturization!

Thanks, now I see the big handles on the back serve a purpose!

Thanks, I always wondered how those old brass soda extinguishers worked, same principle I guess. Saw this kit (with figures!) at an attractive price and was looking for incentive to buy and build, but I really don’t need another project right now

Still getting to know my way around here, thought I’d shake things up with a fireboat, from the old Revell kit. First boat done since I was a kid, with similar results, sadly, LOL! Appears not quite finished when I showed it here, missed another deadline, I guess. Anybody ever done one of these? htt...

Looking to see if this kit has a pump, or they simply pressurized the tanks before the run
