I just found this fire truck on Brickshelf.

There are strange pieces on it but it looks very accurate.

It sure does.  If it's not the MegaBloks one, it was certainly inspired by it.

It is MegaBloks

But:

At the <http://www.lowlug.nl LowLug forum> someone posted an article about
Megabloks. I was in search for it but didn't found it. But I just found the
<http://www.megabloks.com/eng/products/description.php?iID=178&subCat=1#
Megabloks website>. So it definately isn't LEGO .....

I wonder why LEGO doesn't bring out such models.

Yeah, that would be nice...


Because LEGO thinks that fire trucks should look like race cars:

Which is frustrating, considering that they do know how to realistically model
construction equipment:

Oh well... there's always next year.  :)
