RAAF Fire Truck

Hello all. This is my second truck, i did the australian truck a few years ago, but its in pieces now. A mate gave me the 1/24 Revell Shlingmann Fire truck that was already started. I did the body and cab, and then painted it all up.











Now all i have to do is put the mirrors on, and get some deacls made up, and it's done.

Well first up Window ...welcome aboard.

Im liking this model a lot. Good job on the paint and detailing. Nice to see something just a little different. Well done.

A very nice job - well built and finished. I'd like to see this one in the traditional fire engine red too one day.

BTW welcome to the madhouse!

Is that you Matt???
I seem to be bumping in to you everywhere lately!! Welcome to AAMB mate....
Cool firetruck!!

Chris.

great job on it welcome here.

Welcome! Neat job, that looks really good.

thanks guys. Good to be here.

Yes chris, it's me! good to see you here too!

How did you do the camo?

i used the paint set from: mouse house enterprises. It's a 3 colour enamel aussie military paint set.

after priming, did the base coating the model with the tan, then used blue tac to outline where i wanted the green. i used tape to mask off the rest, then used an airbrush to do the green and black. the paints are fantasic, but you have to use General Purpose thinners, (i got mine from bunnings), and as the paints have a lot of pigment in it, you have to thin them a bit, mix them very well, and spray at a high pressure. (around 40psi). Really good paints though.

Welcome to the forum mate, I must admit I'm partial to not so much military stuff, but definitely military- themed automotive models.
