    Chicago Fire Department Squad 2, 1952 Autocar.

    Posted by Martin MacKinnon on 4th Dec 2021

    First of all, a really neat subject to replicate. Four door cabs were pretty rare, back in 1952. Also, the suicide doors on the front of the cab make things even more interesting. Then, there's the monitor at the front of the body & the 2 air tanks for cutting torches that add noteworthy details. Second of all, having a great subject to model is fine. However, it's the execution of the replication that really impresses me. Lots of finicky little pieces that certainly enhance my enjoyment of the model.

    Strikingly unique!

    Before the evolution of the Snorkel Squad concept by Fire Commissioner Quinn, these squads were the workhorses of the Chicago Fire Department. Here’s another example of Fire Replicas’s dedication to getting things right. These models give additional life to one’s collection. Another wise investment!

    Excellent reproduction

    I would only “offer”, for future products... consider producing in a “larger scale”. I would suggest “1/18”.
