Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

Nice looking piece, but a little out of my price range for the time being....

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

That's nice....They chop the top,add a 2-Tone paint job and are charging $200.00 more than the original...

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

Sorry senior moment I looked at wrong model thought it was the closed cab.

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

I'm hoping that someday a guy named Tom Eve might be offering a 1/50th version of an ALF Open Cab straight-frame aerial, which he will have kitbashed with his usual talent and flair.

Checked Franklin Mint site with negative results.

One has to wonder where this came from...

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

May be an Exclusive......"Authorized by Fireman's Hall® Museum, in association with American La France"

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

Good point "hh"... I didn't think of that.

I do like the open cab and two tone paint job on this. On the other hand, I don't like it enough to pay twice the price of the original closed cab. It does however make me consider finding a closed cab later on and doing a chop job and "repaint" (oh gawd there's that word again ) for myself.

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

It does state that this is a pre release model, and you will not have to pay untill it comes in stock.
FM will not normaly show items on their site if the item is not released yet.
Most of FM's fire related issues seem to be Authorized by Fireman's Hall® Museum.

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

& .... it appears they haven't correct the incorrect turntable, & haven't gotten rid of the toy hose reel. Twice the price & the same errors?... No thank you.

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

Lets not forget the all white Code 3 release..... at the collectors club price !!! $ 395.00 major bucks for this item !

Re: FM a/32 American Lafrance Ladder

If you scroll through the site, they show an E-One HP ladder. Anyone seen/bought this model ? Looks nice but what's with the big door hinges......
