    Awesome model, from my days as a young Fan with the CFD. I have personal memories of H&L 33 as a young teen, my father was the " Buggy" driver for the Battalion Chief that was overseeing this company. I .couldn't ask for anything better.

    Another outstanding piece! Great "wood" look on the aerial and ground ladders. One minor point - I think the extension/retraction cable probably would not have been black. How about a ALF JO/JOX aerial?

    Beautiful model.

    Another great model from Fire Replicas. The tiller's detail is amazing. The only improvement would be for it to raise. I have to admit that part of the reason I ordered it was that the truck number and our station number are the same.
