[peterairfix]

Heres the first look a my dennis fire engine its an older one but a kit is a kit.

So far i have started the chassis and some other bits also the engine is in and exsaust pipe most of the paint used will be tamiya as i am trying to slowly change over from humrol enamels.

Anyway heres what it looks like so far.

That looks pretty good Peter. The one I built in my youth looked nothing like that lol.

I did forget to say there are a few missing bits but as they are under the body they won't show.

Nice coachwork Peter, one question: Are the wheels all in one or does it come with separate tyres?

Thanks Peter, I thought something looked different about them, hence the question. Looking great, the red is vivid and so glossy.
