floor is mounted, made the spare rim for the tire. prefitted the cab

so far so good. still not quite sure on an engine

ive installed the steering servo. high torque

i was able to tuck in between the rails. worked perfect. out of site

This is awesome in so many ways! Keep the updates coming.

today i started on the paint, i was going with orange but lately thats the only color ive been doing

i was searching the web and sale a fire company that the color were like a french blue
so something nice and something defferent

the rails are in paint and so are the rims. once i finished the rails i can get started on the axles and suspension

i have one rim done

frame rails are painted and done
rims and tires are done

next is some painting on the axles

Great build! My only question is where did you get those adorable tiny jack stands? Those are freakin awesome!

ebay 1/10 jack stand

i started on the fuel tanks today, made a basic barcket and tank..

the tanks will be removable from the brackets and i will add some detail to them

straps , fuel lines etc

ok, brackets, straps and tanks are made

tanks are removable with just a pull of a pin

next is to prefit on chassis, sand, paint and mount

everything is prefitted now for primer

This is the best build on truck ever
Is it gonna be motorized ???

Good luck Joe
Cheers
Seb

it will be fully radio controlled

I want the same for christmas

one tank is done , waiting on other to dry. i ran out of blue paint.

ive drop the reara and started to paint them. they came out pretty kool

i believe the rear is done.

shes back together.

under the tank is a sub frame. mounted to this will be the tank but also the floor to the electrinics
here you will see the 1/35 scale of the subframe
you can also see i had to make them longer and move a couple of things arround.due to making an r/c

i did alot work lately on the hemtt

the sud frame i mounted mounting brackets and added alittle more detail to it, but i think its ready for primer

the engine compartment. i received in the 65 turn motor and 16-1 planetary trans. this should give it plenty low in torque

the motor and trans will be mounted where i have to build the resin motor arround it.

ive also finished painting the fron axles and suspension. really happy with this weeks progress

today i had some time to work on my baby

ive add the diamond plate on the fenders,the rest of the area will be inclosed, i started on the skeleton of the engine compartment.

the front compartment will be for the radiator and fans. it will have removable side panels

the rear part will have opening top and side panels

Very impressive S-build, Semijoe. I've never built a model in this scale let alone S-build one

Gettin' better & better....

Wow, that looks really great! HEMETT? With all the chrome and silver paint, why not an airport fire truck? With the HEMETT, it'll be mainly CARC Green...

hey thnx man. still might put a water cannon on it

but i do have an ARFF TRUCK posted here

today i had some time to work on the engine

theres alot more parts than i thought. tdr made a very detail engine. really happy with it.

the engine is about half way done, i still need to come up with different engine mount. not to happy with these. any suggestions would be much appreciated

also notice after i paint the exhaust ,thats there tabs that i need to sand off.
