Then I built the mobile fire hose reel. This reel was carried on the back of the firetruck. When arriving on scene, one or two of the firefighters would remove the reel and begin rolling off the line while the truck was being parked and set up.
Not too difficult, just need to be careful and have a lot of superglue handy. For black round wire part on the reel sides I used a black wire from broken USB cable.
After mounting the reel on the back, I made the hand rails on the roof.
Also added the front towing hooks, which I set aside while making the frame. I was afraid I would loose them while handling the model.
