thanks Dale!
it's the way our local fire trucks are painted. we do have a ladder truck (actually is Engine 3) but it is much more modern than this early '70's LaFrance...i pretty much just did it how the newer truck is. the only thing i did to the kit though was to add the chrome wheels, the ladder controls (stock ones were pretty weak...) and the sign boards for the main ladder
spent awhile doing the body drop tonite, and only knocked off one hand rail...
coming to the final stages, cab drop (pia) sirens and mirrors and all the other stuff on a fire truck
dodged a bullet, the bigger tires fit
