About product

American LaFrance Eagle — fire engine 1:25 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic model of the American fire appliance American LaFrance Eagle, a fire pumper, that is an engine with its own pump, in 1:25 scale from Trumpeter. It is an exceptionally extensive and detailed kit: the parts are molded in white plastic, separate sprues carry the chrome-plated and clear parts, and a photo-etched sheet with non-slip surfaces is included. The kit takes in a well-worked interior of the roomy crew cab and a detailed water pump, pressure tanks and chassis.

The real subject

American LaFrance was one of the oldest and best-known American makers of fire-fighting equipment. The Eagle type represents a modern heavy pumper with a powerful pump that draws water from a hydrant or a tank and drives it into the hoses under pressure. The vehicle carries a complete set of fire-fighting equipment, hoses, ladders and fittings, and serves fire departments in the USA for fighting building fires.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement on the joints of the plastic parts, glue the chrome-plated parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and do not spray clear coat over them needlessly. The bodywork of fire engines is usually deep red with a high gloss, so a good base, smoothly applied paint and a final gloss coat pay off, and the decals sit well on it. Bring the chrome, the gauges and the beacons to life and pick out the panel gaps with a subtle dark wash.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of fire and rescue vehicle models
  • fans of American commercial vehicles in 1:25 scale
  • modelers who appreciate chrome, photo-etched parts and a rich interior
  • more advanced builders interested in a detailed kit

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
