Ralph Ratcliffe's Power Wagon conversion features a pumper body completely scratchbuilt using ABS plastic. All of the portable equipment is scratchbuilt. The cab and fenders are pretty much stock, except for the addition of the siren on the fender, the red beacon, and the sprinkler nozzles on the front bumper. The frame was raised slightly, about 3" in full scale. The paint is House of Color urethane, and the decals are microscale. It's built to represent what Ralph says, "..we used to call 'round here an "attack pumper", or "Tac"." Another terrific addition to our contest!
