Hi, can you please tell me which Conrad ladder trucks are genuine 1/50 scale? Some appear larger. Also, how is their general quality and strength of the booms? Thanks,
Michael

The LTI towers are 1:43 scale. The rest are 1:50th scale. The Conrad's are crude, by today's standards, but still nice models. There is not a lot of detail at all. But they were a great value back in the day. The ladders will not take a lot of stress, and are easily broken if bent too far. I have most of the Conrad's, and all have held up well. But I don't touch them as a rule, unless I am dusting inside the case.

Thanks very much for the helpful information, Rich.

I'd like to get my hands on the Fort Worth ladder. Thanks for the information Rich.

I believe a fellow board member has an LIT Ft Worth aerial for sale, I sent him your post.

Thanks!

I have a bunch of the e-one 1/50th scale ladders for sale and the Miami LTI 1/43rd scale.
