Re: Opel Blitz Fire Engine
Great build.
Lots of cool detail on a fire engine.

Nearly..........almost .............there
Soooo close now. I've repainted the headlights & need to get an exact position on the mudguards for 'em. Ladders are painted & on, ditto the
rear guards. I'm still pondering a black grill. I think the decals & the accessories break up the red fairly well.
I'll sort the open section of the bonnet over the weekend. The hose on the reel is black heat shrink, shrunk & flattened with an iron
( when Anne was out!) My next attempt will be better, but I can live V 1.0 here.
I've been good & mowed the 'grass',done my washing so all my weekend chores are done.
So the rest of the weekend can be devoted to 'things I want to do' not 'things I have to do'
Have a good weekend
Cheers,
Chris

Looks great Chris. I do like your details on the hoses and ladder. They are awesome!
I would leave the grille red. I think black would just be too much on a mostly red truck. It would stand out too much. If the headlamps are something other than red, it will help break up the colors.
