    Satellite 1

    I love the American LaFrance trucks and I would have them all if I could afford it. What I like about this one is that there is no canopy over the back of the truck. The detail is as usual, excellent.

    Awesome ALF Satellites

    Posted by Drew N. on 7th Mar 2022

    I could not just pick one so I got a satellite 1 and 4. I like the subtle differences each satellite offers, such as the red MSA foam generator found on this Satellite 1, whereas other satellites have the yellow Spamco foam generators. Perhaps get one of each style if you have trouble deciding too! Perfect Fire Replicas replication once again :)
