I have the Code 3 models and this one is intricately detailed, as well as larger. I sit and study the model and am amazed at how great it looks. I can't wait for the Crown to arrive!

LA County Ward LaFrance Engine 51
Like every other Fire Replicas model I have purchased another out of the park success! Brings back the happy memories of sitting before our small color TV with our son - now age 57! - watching Roy and John do their thing. Can't wait for the Squad!
