A resincast / brass model of a firetruck ! It was a "FALCON", an truck that was in use in Frankfurt / Main - Built by Rosenbauer / Austria. I think a maximum of 15 FALCONS (I think under 10) were built between 1987 and 1989. The time wasn´t right for this design! The bigger firedepartments here in Germany use a very light daylightred. Such models must be paint first in white and then in this red. But the Firedepartment Frankfurt has a not so easy design with stripes ! I made a lot of work with the detailing and than I paint the model - OH MY GOD !!!! I paint the model 9 times and logical remove the paint 8 btimes, until it looks well. I need more than a year for this model - I was so frustrated that i remove the paint - put all things in a box and wait a few weeks before restarting. Today the FALCON is in use with the Youthfirefighters of Frankfurt. [url]http://www.jugendfeuerwehr-frankfurt.de/wamo.html[/url]
