RAF Emergency Set (K6 Crash Tender)

Album image #1
Assemble first, paint later this time - I want this chassis to be solid, so needs to be firmly cemented together (easier with bare plastic everywhere). 
 

Album image #2
Underside assembled, wheels on, even some pigment-mud applied on the tyres, some rust to give it a bit of character, and a bit of blue-ing to the exhaust. 
 

Album image #3
K6 crash tender part assembled, couple of sub-assemblies drying above... not sure why ScaleMates have rotated the image -- even tried rotating it 180 degrees first then uploading, and it still did it!! Just hold your monitor / laptop / mobile upside down :-D :-D 
 

Album image #4
Last chance to see ... the "CO2" and "foam" cylinders in all their glory before they get mostly covered up.
Yes, I am that sad that I painted the valves on the ends according to UK/European fire extinguisher colours :-D
(Phew, photos are the right way up again!)

K6 crash tender ready for decals next.

K6 crash tender and Mr Asbestos keeping it company (still awaiting decals!).

Not exactly stretching the decal skills on this one, a total of 3 number plates (all that comes in the box). Would've gone for an allied star on the bonnet but didn't have any in the right size. 
 

Album image #8
Recreating the classic box art 🙂 
 

Album image #9

Crash tender model amongst US fighters as they at least used the K6 during WWII. Some Japanese aircraft sneaking into the photo too!

Still plenty of time for me to make a pig's ear of it 😄
At least I'm not going red - the one I built 40 years ago was a bloody mess!!
