From what I can gather the Tower Ladder kit has considerable weight to it and is approx 22" long.
It has an electronic kit which incorporates siren, bull horn, working lights/indicators and flashing emergency lights, all of which controlled from the dashboard.
It has all round sprung hydraulic lifters and an extendable ladder/platform which can also be rotated, the chassis is also sprung.
Most of the parts are pre-painted, the majority of which are metal and a content of ABS parts. The cab itself is a one piece metal casting as is the chassis plate.
The tool compartment's contain fire tools etc and the doors and cab doors are magnetic which can be opened with a magnetic wand, the cab door's also have working up/down window winders and has a fully fitted realistic cab interior.

I got to be honest with you Tomick, at first I wasn't much bothered, I mean it's just a fire truck, but looking into it further, it's a cracking bit of kit, and keeping in mind, it is also associated with 7/11 and will be an iconic model to own, even if none of us here in the UK will ever get to see one. The amount of detail is outstanding, and that's without the working parts. I was watching a tribute to the New York Fire Department a few months back, and these guys are amazing, nothing compared to our London's burning, not only are they firemen, but fully trained paramedics, in our country the unions wouldn't have that, unless they were paid for two jobs lol. Keep us posted on this if you would Tomick mate, I for one am most interested! Ship Builds on the go
