FDNY Satellite 4
Exquisite detail. Great workmanship! Model was missing the officer's side mirror (hence, 4 stars instead of 5).

Only dual deck gun satellite
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 yellow Spamco foam generator found on Satellite 4, whereas other satellites have the red MSA foam generators. This Satellite 4 also offers dual deck guns and additional decals. Perhaps get one of each style Satellite to show the different foam generators if you have trouble deciding too! Perfect Fire Replicas replication once again :)
