Manufacturer description

This AEC Regent/Merryweather dual purpose appliance features the livery of Cardiff City Fire Brigade.

The AEC Regent was a classic fire engine of the 1950s and the first post war diesel powered fire engine. With its 1000 gallons per minute pump, six man crew cab and 50ft wheeled escape ladder, the machine proved a valuable asset to busy city fire brigades.

Our 1:76 scale model is decorated in the traditional bright red colour scheme with the rear body in silver on all vertical and angled surfaces. Flat surfaces are painted brown. Registered FKG 51, it also features a colourful crest on both sides of the body featuring the Prince of Wales feathers and Welsh Dragon.
