Thanks Jimbo! From what I can tell it is a relatively new design, & I'm trying to find out if it is offered as an option from all ARFF manufacturers, or only certain ones. It looks to be a valuable type of equipment, but when it comes to patents, it may not be too easily available.

Thank you for the positive feedback, cachalote! I'm truly enjoying the projects that I'm doing now. & I'm glad others are being so supportive of my efforts! I try to follow a careful balance to create items that use mostly PM original parts, & make them able to always be returned to their original state with no permanent evidence of the conversion.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

That's quite a "trick", Bill! Especially because your customs always look like irreversible conversions to me ...  :eh?:

You should create a "how to" topic on how to create "temporary" customs. It would seem that reversible customs would take a lot more planning and time than a "permanent" custom.

I would really like to know how you do it. And, I'll bet that there are others here who would like to know as well.

Thank you for sharing your splendid fire fighting creation with us.

All the best,
Richard

To answer your question Gepetto, from what I have researched, the nozzle pierces the skin of the plane like an actual syringe needle. The shell of an aircraft is not super thick or puncture resistant so a hydraulic powered cylinder can easily penetrate it. This design is only a recent introduction to ARFF trucks, so I have not been able to witness an actual nozzle of this type in operation.
The machine was profiled on Modern Marvels (History Chanel) on a couple of shows (at least one about- Firetrucks).
