Here's another view of Christophe Lorin's terrific kitbash job he performed on an old Preiser Kit that he built about twenty years ago. Christophe wanted to build one of the Chicago FD crash trucks because they use this kind of apparatus in case of gas station or gas tanker incident. He decided to recycle his old Faun to a modern Oshkosh T3000 monster and you can see the result in the above photo. It took 6 hours of modifications and one more for the scratchbuild snozzle. The 655 is based at the O'Hare International Airport. Also shown in Photo Gallery 108.
