A very clever and original custom. :clap: :clap: :clap:
It's the sort of device the Soviet Union used to come up with.

Wonderful idea and a very nice custom, well done. :)9 :)9 :)9
George. :)

Very nice indeed ! a well executed custom :clap: :)9 There have been a few fire fighting conversions done on surplus Leopard tank chassis that have produced some very impressive vehicles, well done on this one :)
-
Very cool indeed 8-) 8-)
Reminds me of the Thunderbird 2 Pod vehicles
Damo :)

Great custom job, it looks just like the one on their web site here (http://www.redairmatic.com/portugues/ebook/ebook.htm)
now about the machine, trying to fight a forest fire with these is just plain a waste of money and precious time. If it was a full blown forest fire you might as well have brought your hand held squirt gun. The operators were even afraid to drive through some small pile of brush, oh they called it logging slash :lol: please. Those tanks can drive through a subdivision of houses and never slow down. ::)
then using a chopper to fill the water tank is absurd. the chopper can deliver water right to the fire with out impact to the surrounding environment. The chopper can cool off the ground crew by doing a water drop on them. Why would you use a chopper to fill a tank then the tank fills the tank and it roars off with its heavy foot to spray the water?
Then there are the poor people who climb into the tank. If it gets lost they are going to cook in that tin can like sardines
Get a fire fighting dozer, clear a fire break and man the position to keep the fire from jumping or back burn your area. Trying to piss it out is futile.
sorry for rambling :-[
PS: Gordon the Russians may have made the tank for war but they would not give these to the forest fire division. They barely give them boots and the tracks of timber there are some of the bigest in the world. I hope things recently have changed.

oh ya, it look like when the tank rolls out of the shed it is leaving marks not rubble on the ground. That tells me they put on rubber tracks and took off the steel tracks so they would not rip up every road they drove on. Rubber tracks in a fire, what do you think would happen when you get into the hot spot?
again Manu your custom job is spot on with the real one and I am in no way criticizing your work. The job you did is great but I just know this particular machine is not a good idea in a fire.

I was thinking of one I saw on a stamp which was basically a jet turbine mounted on a tank body to blow the fire out. A quick google search then came up with these:

Nice custom! :)

those are some crazy contraptions. I would think the Russians would try to blow up the fire with outdated missiles :lol:
These are the situations that I hear about that is sad, BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-18354834). I guess at least they gave them unholy parachutes. If only they gave them the $400 shelters (http://www.thefirestore.com/store/product.cfm?pID=7073)
not that they work all the time but anything to give them a fighting chance, here it worked (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-burnover-f,0,3414723.flash)
maybe a custom shelter but it really would be just a piece of tin foil for a klicky :lol:
Manu what toy tank did you use ? My boys would love to have a tank but I do not want them playing "modern war" but a civilian tank like yours used to fight fires is a compromise :)9

Superb custom!!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:
