Among the civil vehicles there are countless options, and one that we have found more than interesting is this fire truck with all the necessary elements to carry out the work for which it is intended, such as pumps, tanks and hoses, based on the Mercedes Benz 1625. A vehicle that can give a lot of play, both for dirty work and in dioramas that require an emergency vehicle.

How spectacular are these versions that Mercedes used simulating that part of the engine was visible! It cannot be said that it is not an original way to advertise your original pieces.

The set is completed with the correct 4 rims to mount this version.

In 2005 Andy Priaulx was proclaimed for the second time in a row touring car champion, although for the first time with the World Championship qualification (WTCC), and in the last race in Macau he wore a slightly different decoration, integrating the great UK used throughout the season by the team to the striking green colors of Watson's, a BMW regular on his visits to Macau.

Although the StreetBlisters primer is prepared to be used directly with the airbrush, there may always be a time when an "extra" dilution is needed, and for this, there is nothing better than using exactly the same brand thinner, thus avoiding possible incompatibility problems when using other thinners.

Spectacular! We cannot think of another qualifier for this kit. The quality of the details, with fully detailed chassis, suspension, brakes and engine, make this kit a delight for motorcycling fans, apart from all the historical content of this motorcycle with which Eddie Lawson was proclaimed world champion in 1988 with no less than 7 wins throughout the season.

As has been customary for a few years, many of our models do not include those corresponding to tobacco advertising on their decal sheets. as it happens with the Tamiya Williams FW14B at 1/12 scale.
