International Harvester 175C Tracked Loader "Fire Service No 3" versionThis is the International 175C "Fire Service" Tracked Loader from First Gear. The individually linked metal tracks are supperbly detailed and are an exact replication of the real tracks. Everything looks perfectly scaled. The rear of the model features a detailed rope winch and towing bar. The detail provided in the operators cabin is well done, including all the operator levers and foot pedals. There are faithfully reproduced grab rails, a fire extinguisher and even a tool box to finish the detail.
The enclosed engine compartment contains plenty of detail, including a very detailed front grill. The functional 4-in-1 bucket is nicely done and the boom is highly detailed and fully functional. The only dissapointment is the range of movement of the boom as it only raises level with the bonnet.
This is without doubt one of the most detailed models available for the price, costing around £35. It is worthy of adding to any collection, especially when displayed with the International TD15 "Fire Service" model.
