I recently came across this very nice firetruck that had been packed away before I moved to another apartment. It is a 1944 Mercedes-Benz L4500F vehicle from Yat Ming Signature Series 1/43 size in their firetruck line.

It is really well done and detailed and additionally comes in it's own clear plastic case and base. They also did some 1/24 scale firetruck that were equally well made.

These are mostly some quick phone-camera snaps I got of this one. I recall I purchased it years ago at a low price at a Menard's Home Center holiday sale.

With the hose reel out the back, very evocative of my old tekno fire trucks! 😎 😍

@perrone1 Well said Tony. Yat Ming Fire trucks are nice in any scale. Thanks for sharing Mike.

@karl I once had the Tekno Scania like yours on the right Karl. The opposite side says ""Slack Torsten". I sold or traded it to John DeHanes many years ago.

  A rare promo for a Swedish soft drink! "Quench your thirst" - get it?
