I was cruising ebay and spotted a sale for First Gear whee/tire sets.I have a couple of converted KW-100 models, and was never happy with the AMT plastic tires, so I dug out a couple of large boxes marked FG so I could compare tire sizes. These boxes have been sealed since I moved in April 2002. On top of the stack was a larger box #18-1451 still wrapped in brown paper. Not knowing what it was, I opened it. Model is a Mack B FDNY tractor with Fire Museum semi trailer. I don't ever remember purchasing it. As it was factory wrapped in tissue with clear plastic, I only opened up the tractor for a quick look-see. The mirrors, Bulldog, and spare tire are still sealed. I would like to see what it looks like, but I would rather not open the sealed packages. Does anyone have a link to a photo of this model? Plus, any idea what its worth? And is it rare, or a large issue?
