A miniature masterpiece for sure. For all those in this area of collecting, Fire Replicas must surely be perceived as the pinnacle, none greater.
Great looking model.
John, do you plan to buy any more fire trucks?

1956 Ford F-600 COE fire truck in approximately 48th scale along with a vintage Dinky Toy 1956 Rambler station wagon fire chief car. The truck is quite well done for the price of only about $15. Marketed by Menards who do other versions of this '56 Ford, dump truck, tank truck, tow truck, and box truck which were likely powered by the Ford Y block V8 in 272 or 292 cubic inch displacement..

Wow, John, that certainly is an astounding 1/50 model from Fire Replicas ! They did an amazing job here and it definitely must be a star in your collection.
I have a lot of fire trucks but have begun to hold off on anything not 1/43 - there's just too much in 1/50 to keep up with. These are amazing, and there are (as I write this) 214 of their 1/50 fire apparati on ebay. As great as that model in the video is, check out the ladder trucks they make. I have a few TWH fire trucks, also 1/50, check out the ones I have below.
You might already know - but I just read it in Diecast Collector magazine (Aug 2024) - that the Fire Replicas guy has started another company - https://heavyhaulreplicas.com/in-stock-diecast-models/
These 1:50 Mack trucks look just as detailed as his fire engines!!!
