MB Unimog Angloco Cumbria PU62GUHWildfire unit based on a Maisto base model which happens to be yellow. I had to cut and lengthen the chassis slightly. And remove the front loader which came with this model. This is a real machine. In the winter in the Lake District it carries a yellow gritter unit and snowplough. see

In the summer that body is lifted off and a wildfire unit in red is carried. Based Appleby.
Recently seen on the national news on duty in South Wales and Derbyshire as part of national resilience response to wildfires.
The FIRE sign at the front covers part of the snowplough mechanism when it is fire fighting.
Scale about 1:35-40. on YouTube here on the run:
