Fire Apparatus Model Forums

Found this while photographing some of my collection. Grip Zechin catalog pages, teeny tiny folded insert. Posting here for posterity and fond memories. Use Google and eBay to find pics of the actual models. Original document scans at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vMRK7UYP1Q6shSQDW3uX-HUyW...

New release in pocket car range, and with a neat clear plastic rider figure.

And 1/32 scale, no less.

Here's a new fire vehicle from Tomica, #121 in the "long" range, pod carrier named "Ichihara City Fire Department Scrum Force." Complete with wee robots 'n' drones.

Always interesting, these Tomica models.

Oh, memories of an earlier attempt at replicating that cab. Do I ever feel old.

Here's an interesting upcoming Greenlight release...

Random find. 1:43 scale KAMAZ airport crash truck. Russia. Pretty interesting. Tons of Russians fire (and non-fire) truck models on the web site: http://startscalemodels.eu/ More pics of this truck at http://startscalemodels.eu/models/ssm1449-airport-fire-engine-aa-1360-kamaz-6560-khrabrovo-airport/...

Pic from an eBay seller. Shows the box and the real thing.

Man, what a FAIL. They really messed up the proportions, and probably in the interest of elongating the model, to match packaging size.

New 1:144 Tokyo FD helicopter. By Tiny, https://www.tiny.com.hk

Pic on their web site, more on listings of eBay sellers.

They have an interesting range of small-scale fire (and other) vehicles.

Coming in June 2021, Tomica #145, Scania/Magirus Ladder.

Scale TBD. Also, proportions look a little funky to me. What do y'all think?
