Jonj238 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I've had this firetruck for quite awhile. Given that it is a higher skill level than I am comfortable with, I have always passed this by. I think this contest will give me an incentive to finally get it started and see it through. I'm planning on box stock except for some new decals and maybe some aftermarket detail items.
cowboy rich Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Very nice choice if memory serves you been sittin on that puppy for awhileRich
Petetrucker07 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 This is a nice choice. I'm sure you'll make this look awesome.
Mopar - D Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Jon looking forward to see you build this kit.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Cool project choice!! Looking forward to more!!
gatorincebu Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Jon, Go for it ! I am sure you can handle it , and do a good job on it. Be Well Gator
tbill Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 don't worry bout a thing, i never quite got the skill level rating, it just has a ton of parts is all. you'll do fine, and this is a kit i have never seen built, so will for sure be watching this.
rctruk Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Neat truck I'm sure it will look great. I've never seen a built one either
Jim B Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I like your choice. Good luck with that evil red plastic!
Olskoolrodder Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I've never seen that kit before,cool choice!
vettecote Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I've been eyeballing this kit for a while, Can't wait to see it in progress...Joe
Jonj238 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 I have very little progress to report this month. I have done some work on the frame, but that is all.Right now we are in the middle of a move, most of my modeling supplies are packed away, and it is taking longer than we expected. I plan on really getting down to working on this project starting in April. The positive to all of this is that I will have my own dedicated modeling space. No more working on the dining room table.
gatorincebu Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Jon , Good luck on the move. I hope it all goes well for you . And yes having a dedicated space to build your models is a huge plus.I will be looking forward to further updates on your move and this project! Be Well Gator
Chariots of Fire Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 It may look complicated but it is just another truck build when you come down to it. The fire part of it is just some add on stuff. Forget the plastic strips for hose to fill the bed though. I have a much better way that I can post if you are interested.
Canso65 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I hope your move goes well Jon. It is the very least favorite thing I have done. Great choice for the build. I'm looking forward to seeing this take shape. Rob

Forget the plastic strips for hose to fill the bed though. I have a much better way that I can post if you are interested. Yes, I am open to any help or suggestions. Those plastic strips don't look very realistic.
Jonj238 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 No progress this month at all. Turns out moving is the easy part. Finding and putting everything away after the move, is when the real work starts.
