Magazine Review
As seen in Truck Model World Magazine, U.K. - January/February 2017, by Steven Downes. www.truckmodelworld.com
The new Seagrave Attacker chassis with 95’ Aerialscope II is, in my opinion, the best and most realistic replica so far produced by Fire Replicas. It is packed with detail and realism to a level seldom seen in a replica, using a multitude of materials and workmanship to make every millimetre of the model exude quality.
Fixed to the custom base with engraved nameplate, the model features exacting placement of the smallest of details, like the roof of the cabin which has aerials, air conditioning units, floodlights and both red and clear flashers. The front grill is photo-etched with a raised Seagrave logo and diamond plate textured surfaces. The sides of the body have separately applied door handles and a number of tiny graphics, all hand applied to perfection. Towards the rear, access steps are integrated into the body design with textured surfaces and grab handles leading to the bucket which has an authentic textured floor with plumbing for electrical and water supplies leading to the water spray nozzle. Even here, the attention to the smallest of details is evident with every tiny detail picked out to perfection.
The overall finish of the model is superb, with silver pin lines and the yellow and white striping really looking the part. All warning labels have been replicated with tinted plastic lenses fitted to all the light housings. As with the other models in the series, the cabin is replicated within, with glimpses of the interior possible through the clear glazing, showing the driver’s station with steering wheel and raised surround. The model carries the 119 designation, based at the Hooper Street station in Brooklyn, along with engine 211.
