Well, not a lot of companies around the world were building any brand-new civilian vehicles for 1944. But there was a fairly busy market for vehicles like this 1944 Mercedes-Benz fire-truck. This M-B L4500F machine was done in 1/43 by Yat Ming in their fine series from some years ago.

Great truck, great pics! Love the lights of the first shot.

Yat Ming did a fabulous job with their fire truck models and at an affordable price. Super pictures Mike.

@perrone1 I hope you turned the lights out Mike. Would hate for the battery to be dead when a fire call came in.

Lol, the last thing you want with a fire-truck is a dead battery !
