A very interesting model. I like the way you've incorporated
pre-minifig Lego style (the cab of the truck) with more modern
Lugnetesque design ideas (the details on the rear). Also, I
especially like your control panel which uses the Technic bricks with
the short pegs to simulate knobs, gauges, and hose attachment points.
Very simple, yet highly suggestive of the real thing.
