The advance info on the next Yatming 1/24th release indicates it is a "1927 American LaFrance Type 75 pumper". This puts it into the era of the 100-series trucks (1926-on), but the older style rigs were still being built into '27, and the "Type 75" mention would seem to indicate it will be one of these. Curious, then, that they'd call it a 1927, when this style was available from the late teens onward. Can anyone shed more light on WHAT this is likely to be, or whose prototype rig they're actually replicating?

Does anyone have any information as to when or if this Yat-Ming model will be released?

Location: Hickory, N. C.

It's listed at Diecast Direct as "Fourth Quarter 2008". Usually, we get a picture of their releases quite a bit ahead of time, but I haven't seen one yet.
