How long this one takes.
Build class is about time and piece count, not difficulty. Every kit uses the same techniques and the same instruction style. A Chief kit is not harder than a Firefighter kit, it is just a longer evening.

About the real apparatus
The rig behind the model.
This is my recreation of California's Office of Emergency Service's, 2020/2021 Order of Type 6 F-550's from HME. This specific model represents OCFA's Brush Patrol 1601 given to them by CAL OES. It has a 500GPM PTO Pump, 180GPM Aux Pump, 280Gal water tank, and 20Gal cell of A Class Foam. These vehicles act as a small, mobile frontline wildland fire apparatus, also being used for general rescue operations.
Furnished with a updated full interior, this is my first rig with working doors! If you remove the back door, you can swing open the front door and then place the rear door back on. It also has a detailed engine bay in the front! Along both sides of the vehicle is 3 clip on-clip off rollup compartments you can open to see the equipment inside, it has fire line tools, a portable pump, fire extinguisher, gas pot, jaws of life, and more. There are two hose reels on top, and a pump panel on the rear of the vehicle with a covered hose bed area.
Hope you enjoy the 3/4th vehicle in the CAL OES Frontline vehicle series! I've done a Type 1 and Type 3 as well, last to do is a tender.
