With kwk088's dimensions on SAG(Sixth Army Group Forum) I was able to scratchbuild a 1/6th fire extinguiser. Here are a couple pics of my scratchbuilt one. I used a section of a Sanford Liquid Permanent Marker for the body of the extinguisher and sheet styrene for the rest along with some thin tin and a paperclip for the handles. I have yet to prime and paint it. Just wondering if to paint it panzer grey reguardless of the color scheme I do the halftrack in. After it's painted I will need to decal it.

Harold, if you look at the site for the Wheatcroft Collection there is a pic of several original fire extinguishers and you can see they came in a variety of colours, red, tan, black etc. You choose!

The pic is in the 'Shed' - look under the Research Squad section...

Nice bit of modelmaking btw!
