Jacub,

This is a great looking model! This takes me back to the days growing up in Southern California; when I would always run to the window to see one of these speeding down the road with its trailing convoy of pumpers.

City of Los Angles fire department used these all over the valley and they always seemed to have their own dedicated pumper truck plus a non-dedicated pumper. Fire Station 102 was up the street from where I use to live. And the station had three open air LaFrance units, a Ladder/Tiller (L102), Pumper (P102) and a second dedicated Pumper (P302).

You should make a matching pumper like this one:)


(not an LA truck but a good image of a pumper)

Once again great work, thanks for posting.

Build on,
