I'd say this request is pretty 'iffy', but what the heck, with a little
luck? In an older issue of Airfix Magazine [April 1979] I saw a small
model photo of a German Half-Track [SdKfz 7?]fitted out as an
experimental RAF crash tender in 1945. Now that's kind of neat, I
thought, and as I have an old Bandai kit gathering dust somewhere in the
styrene cave I figured it would make a good part time project.
The model in the photo was fitted out with parts from the Airfix RAF
Emergency set [probably 1/72nd and long out of production now?]. If I
could locate some photos or information on the Half-track and the
equipment, maybe just maybe the fire fighting equipment could be
scratched for use with the Half-Track in 1/48th scale.
Would anyone have any idea where I could look for such information?
Thanks all. cheers - Jim.

****** Neat. The person who built the model in Airfix said it was
painted overall red and it is. I'll do as you suggested and contact
them for more information. If anyone should have that information it
should be these guys.
Thank you Nigel. Much appreciated. Cheers - Jim.
