yep, if it aint honda or a concrete pump it's gotta be shit, does japan build putzies?

hey mick. about a year ago i bought a model pump that you could build yourself, it was plastic. i bought it off ebay (uk). it came from a german company. the make of the model was a brand called KIBRI, it was a model of an schwing kvm 42. the ebay members name is- matthias6685  if you search his shop on ebay they mite have a model pump there, or drop him an email. the model cost me £4.99 english pounds on a buy it now. i gave my model away to my dad to build now he wont let me have it back :-)  . hope this helps anyway

Here's a picture of that same KIBRI 42M Schwing, but with an MR cab instead of the Mercedes.

Considerable work went into modifying a Mack cab to work:

The cab is a modified Rick Decals Mack MR which was hollowed out and then the windows were changed from the roll down to the slide type opening up the cab quite a bit! The fenders come from the Mercedes cad as well as the modified interior. Scratch built mirrors,exhaust and airbreather tower as well as clearance lights; air horns are from Athearn.

The completed cab was mounted on the Kibri chassis with modified Herpa front wheels and Athearn tires, Athearn tire/wheels on the rear, Kibri battery box air tanks finish the chassis! The pumper is straight from the box; the whole unit is finished in Testors grey for the pump and custom green for the cab!

While we're at it, how about a mixer truck:

Here's the particulars on it:

Here is the RD Mack complete. It is mounted on a modified Athearn chassis twin steer 72" spread front and rear; Athearn front wheels (modified to super singles) and Boley six spoke rear wheels, Herpa mixer drum with various scratch built parts and peices from the "spare parts box". Windsheild is from Todd Terpstra and water hose on the drum is copper wire. Testors grey for the drum and custom mix green model paint with auto clear coat provides protection for the cab.
