Jim B Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Dave, I don't really know. I was kind of hoping that some of our fire truck experts might know. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Ok, here's an update from the Revell.de Website: The Schlingmann crew-cab rescue engine on the DaimlerCrysler MB 1529 chassis with all-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission has a water tank with a capacity of 2,000 litres. The Schlingmann HLF 20/16 - based on an Atego 1325 AF - premiered at the IAA 2004. Aside from the fire-fighting and water pumping the tasks of this crew-cab rescue engine include providing technical assistance on a medium to high level. At most fire brigades this independent tactical unit with its comprehensive equipment fit and crew forms the first line of attack, i.e. it is the first vehicle to arrive on the scene of an emergency. "SAFETY FIRST!" in the Schlingmann rescue engine begins right at the front of the vehicle, in the crew cab. That's why the driver and crew area has been designed as a safety cell, featuring double-wall stell construction just like the original cab. Consistent with the safety theme, the chassis design is able to absorb maximum elastic energy in case of an accident. This ensures the crew is effectively protected. Model details Scale 1:24 Release date 09/2007 No. of parts 150 Length 303 mm Height 125 mm Skill Level 9 Original details Type description Water tank car Year/Period 2005 Origin D Engine capacity 205 kW Weight 15 t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizardqing Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 As far as I have been able to find out the supposed release date is around Sept and price is said to be in the $75 neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JdKustomModels Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 the low prices for this blow my mind, I saw a website advertising advanced pre orders for 55 bucks...........sheesh if they could run all the kits at a price like this when they come out........

SpreadAxle Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 That's a surprise, I thought it would be more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardqing Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Well one thing to remember, the prototype in the pictures is 1/10 scale and highly detailed. Good chance the 1/24 version may not be quite as detailed. All though should it be , there will be no complaints from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
