With the 962 on hold while I order nuts & bolts for the door hinges, I decided to build a truck in support of our Ukrainian friends.
Base kit is Italeri's Land Cruiser with machine gun and Somali license plates. This has been in the stash for some time now. One choice was to build it in the military version, complete with machine gun, painted in the colours of the Ukrainian flag; but I am opposed to militaristic solutions wherever possible, so it will be a fire truck with the shield of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service on the doors.
Various paraphernalia (water pump and tank, hoses, ladders, fire extinguishers) will come from the boneyard as well as the Landie Rod, which was originally a fire truck.
I'll have to scratch build a frame to support the roof rack as the roof of the Landie is too narrow. Stay tuned!
