SkunkModels continue their range of U.S. carrier subjects with this small vehicle that will look great alongside their winged products. The Fire Engine itself comprises only two sprues and will build into an uncomplicated little scale model. There is sufficient detail cast onto surfaces and enough add on parts to make for a convincing replica of the real thing which in itself has a very simple appearance. A sheet of decals adds a little colour and interest to the stark white surfaces of the model.

Also included are three generic crew figures which we have seen before in
SkunkModels’ earlier carrier tractor. The figures are of a good standard. They will really stand out if painted carefully and it would not be difficult to convert their poses and clothing to suit them to specific duties.
I’ve included a photo of a built up tractor from an earlier review. These little kits really do look great with some extra effort in the paint department. This line of plastic vehicles and crew figures are very reasonably priced and easy to build. They can be done satisfactorily OOB or enhanced with a little extra scratch built detail. I’m looking forward to seeing more in this range. Recommended.
