Add a hardworking waterfront vessel to your layout or diorama with the Atlantis Models Fire Boat plastic model kit.
Produced in 1:160 scale, this detailed little kit measures approximately 5.5 inches long when complete and includes 26 parts. Designed for use with N-scale model railroad layouts, harbor scenes, waterfront dioramas, and maritime displays, this fire boat is a great addition to any busy port, dock, marina, or industrial shoreline setting.
Fireboats are specialized emergency vessels equipped with powerful pumps, hoses, and water cannons used to fight fires from the water. They are especially valuable in ports and harbors, where they can protect ships, docks, warehouses, and waterfront structures. Because they pump water directly from below the hull, fireboats have an almost unlimited water supply while operating.
The earliest fireboats date back to the late 18th century, when tugboats were fitted with firefighting equipment. Over time, they became important working vessels in major ports around the world. Fireboats are also famous for ceremonial water displays, often welcoming historic ships, naval fleets, and special events with towering arcs of water from their monitors.
This Atlantis kit is molded in tan and includes waterslide decals. Suggested colors include black, brown, red, and yellow. Model cement and paint are required and sold separately.

Great fun to build this kit again! I had the Lindberg kit as a kid. I think I'll paint it in glossy Testors for old times sake. Love the original box art too. Thank you Atlantis for bringing back these memories!
