Nice build! The company I used to work for had a Mack R600 water wagon with a shop built water tank with a side mounted gas powered pump to spread the water out a bar at the rear.  We also had an ex oil truck on a Ford LNT800 chassis that used the former PTO oil pump in the rear of the body to do the same. We had just obtained another Mack ex septic tank pumper with a vacuum powered pump to fill the truck, and were installing a gas powered pump to spread the water when I got injured and left the company.  That build looks fantastic!

I've been working on the tank, to be honest the cab is ready for windows and I really hate doing windows for resin kits.  The last 2 were ok, windshields were flat.  This one has a curve at each outer edge, two separate panels.  So, the tank has got the attention and is almost done, as is the chassis.

The nozzles still need diffusers and I'll probably think of a few more things.

Thanks, the yellow looks a tad greenish in the pics, it's supposed to be a pale yellow.  I'll have to fix that in the next set of pics.

Progress on the cab, glass is in and details are being added.  I put fender flares on as the tires were sticking out a little past the stock fenders.  Cab lights, horn, wipers and mirrors are left.  Stack should finish this one.  Chassis is done, ended up adding a tank for the hydraulic oil.  Then I can start the light weathering I have planned.
