A BIG CLASSIC KIT FOR EXPERIENCED MODELERS: AMTโs 1/25 scale Ladder Chief is a great project for any experienced modeler looking for a challenge. TRUST AMT: We at AMT are modelers ourselves and we sweat the details, to make sure every kit produced is top quality in every way!
a modern reissue of an amt classic, this model kit encompases the ample detail and basic easy build of older amt truck kits in 1/25 scale, while enjoying gleaming, smooth new chrome parts, and fresh, new decals. it's an impressive size, and the mold quality looks very good for a kit with this origin. i think modellers will enjoy the old- time style and basic mechanical aesthetic of this classic fire truck. study the instructions carefully before beginning the build, and the actual construction process looks pretty simple. i look forward to building this blast from the past!
A great kit, of a true classic American Fire truck. AMT introduced these kits in the late '60s early 70's. The molds have "been around the block" having been used by AMT, Matchbox, now Round 2 in minor cases their showing their age, with "flash" on some parts from the prolonged use.....they still produce the essentials for enjoyable sessions making the kit: A true classic American LaFrance 900 series "ladder Chief."
The latest rendition from Round 2 truly is a great kit; Crisp molding (despite minor flash) beautiful chrome plating of multiple sprues. nice decals, real, 1 piece vinyl tires. If so desired, the modeler can build the truck w/4 working outriggers, elevating, rotating & extending ladder. There is also a nice build of the engine, under the chromed engine cover.
Grab this kit, along w/its matching LaFrance Pumper, LaFrance Aero Chief (Snorkel) plus the Chief Chevy, the Chevy Rescue van and PD Ford sedan, ...a great collection. Enjoy!
