An unusual Land Rover (Lesney MB-57)

There is a unique kind of Land Rover, not the usual one, because it is a fire truck. I bought it especially for my own collection, not for sale. My goal was a simple restoration, nothing special. 


It has got a ladder on the roof, (I got it now), only I removed it, doesn' appear on this photo.
Originallly it had regular wheels, but I don't collect these models, only SuperFast ones, so I decided to change the wheels to SuperFast. I had to do very carefully, because the baseplate is a 50 years old plastic and it breaks easily. Otherwise a real SuperFast version  of this truck (in mint condition) is very rare.


 I neede to create new 'Kent Fire Brigade' stickers, too.
