Someone - Please smack me upside the head!

I'm not thinking straight.

While evaluating the new C3 ladder 15 on line, $90.00 US, I discovered that the C3 1/32 Diamond Plate Luverne can be obtained instead for only $17.50 more (10.00 club membership and 7.50 for the model).

I happen to think that this Luverne model is about the ugliest fire truck I have ever seen but I am a big fan of large scale models. Has anyone here bought one of the C3 Luvernes?

Your evaluations please (both the model and myself...hehehe).

Re: Someone - Please smack me upside the head!

When CFD Engine 102 and the fireboat went on sale for $50 and $39 respectively, I bought both. It is a beautiful model--the only DP equivalent model I have to compare it to is the Norfolk FM/C3 ladder and the Luvere is hands down a better model. This is back when C3 actually paid attention to detail. At $50 it was a STEAL! Quite honestly, it's a no brainer if it's that or L15 for the price difference. Only issue is shipping--they nail you almost $20 now, but back then it was only $10......

Buy it, you won't be dissappointed.
