American Firefighters - Rescue Workers Set1:18

American Firefighters – Emergency Services Set

This five-piece figure set depicts American firefighters in dynamic operational poses. Protective equipment, ladder work and an axe allow for a cohesive fire and rescue scene around buildings, emergency vehicles or model cars. The figures are supplied unpainted in resin and with support structures. The colored depiction serves as a design example.

Included figures

• American Firefighter - With Protective Equipment (Ref. No. 306): Firefighter with helmet, operational clothing and rear-mounted equipment in an active pose on a ladder.
• American Firefighter - Climbing Ladder (Ref. No. 307): Upward-looking firefighter gripping a ladder and positioned for climbing.
• American Firefighter - With Axe (Ref. No. 308): Fully equipped firefighter with an axe for a forced-entry or rescue scene.
• American Firefighter - Holding Front of Ladder (Ref. No. 309): Forward-facing operational figure for positioning at the front end of a ladder.
• American Firefighter - Holding Rear of Ladder (Ref. No. 310): Firefighter for carrying or stabilizing the rear section of a ladder.

Scales and suitable projects

The set is available in several scales. For a cohesive depiction, figures, vehicles and buildings should be selected in the same scale:

• 1:18: Particularly suitable for large model cars, fire engines and detailed emergency scenes in a display case.
• 1:20: Suitable for larger dioramas and special models with generously designed building backdrops.
• 1:22.5: A suitable choice for fire service scenes on a garden railway or in a Scale II setting.
• 1:24: Ideal as an addition to model cars, emergency vehicles and building dioramas in the common automotive model scale.
• 1:32: Suitable for Scale I layouts as well as emergency scenes beside vehicles on a slot car racetrack.
• 1:35: Suitable for vehicle dioramas and plastic model building, for example next to a fire or rescue vehicle.
• 1:43: Recommended for compact city scenes, model cars and die-cast collections.

Practical uses

• For a garage diorama with a model car, the 1:18, 1:24 or 1:43 versions are especially suitable. The figures can be arranged around an emergency vehicle or in front of a building facade.
• On a model railway, 1:22.5 suits garden railways and Scale II, while 1:32 is intended for a Scale I scene. The ladder poses enable a clearly visible operation at a building.
• In a 1:35 vehicle diorama, the set complements fire vehicles and rescue scenes with coordinated, active body positions.
• For a display case with a large fire engine model, 1:18 offers a particularly striking figure group.
• The firefighters carrying and climbing the ladder can be combined into a cohesive building or rescue scene; the figure with axe adds an additional action-focused accent.

The resin figures are model-making accessories and not toys. Before painting, the support structures must be removed and the surfaces cleaned up as needed.
