CFS Macro - Austin K6 RAF Crash Tender/Fire Engine.
CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle.

The Austin K6 Crash Tender/Fire Engine was the typical RAF Fire Truck of the Battle of Britain's RAF Emergency Services, built by the Austin-British Leyland Company during the Second World War.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In January 1939, just before the Second World War began, Austin received the state order and was forced to return trucks production.
The new range, which was later named the "Series I", consisted of two basic models K2 and K3 with a capacity of 2 and 3 tonnes. Then a 1.5-ton pick-up K30 was added to this range. All of them had a six-cylinder overhead valves gasoline engine (3462 cm3, 60-63 hp), 4-speed transmission, hydraulic brakes and a spring suspension. Externally, that trucks were very similar to its main competitor the Bedford truck, and therefore became known as the "Birmingham Bedford".

The K6 superseded the Austin K3 3-ton 6x4 from 1942 on, the total production reaching 15,000 chassis with various body types.

Among the 500 British Austin trucks, delivered to the Soviet Union in 1942, were a few batches of the Austin K6, of which some were fitted with BM-13-16 "Katiusha" Rocket Launchers.

I have created a api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2.0.47 (© Matthias Brückner), to generate two (red and green) static Austin K6 Fire Engine, used by RAF Emergency Services on WWII.

Some textures are based on pictures availables on WWII Drawings site, mastered by Vincent Bourguiñon, Rochefort (Belgium) and www.o5m6.de, "Engines of the Red Army" site.

This macro was tested only in CFS1 sceneries, but I believe that can work without problems in CFS2-3 and FS2000-2002.

All mine API macros, could be included on objects libraries with crash detection (for CFS missions), but must be distributed with the original API-MACRO copyright.
