Description
Atlantis Models HarbourFire Boat AMCL72121 is a 1:160 plastic model kit representing a fire boat for display in N-scale model railway layouts or waterfront dioramas. When assembled, the model measures 5.50 inches (13.97 cm) long and contains 26 parts. The kit is moulded in tan and includes waterslide decals for finishing the completed model.
Fire boats are specialised vessels designed to tackle fires from the water, particularly around port facilities, ships, docks and waterside warehouses. Their pumps draw water from below the hull, allowing them to direct water towards fires along the waterfront. This model represents the general type rather than a named historical vessel, making it suitable for scenes that need a working harbour, industrial dock or maritime service setting.
Kit Features
The kit is listed as Skill Level 2 and is intended for assembly by model builders and hobbyists. Suggested colour choices include black, brown, red and yellow, allowing the model to be finished to suit the surrounding layout or diorama. Model cement and paints are not included and are sold separately where required. Once assembled, the model is for display rather than play.

Specifications
1:160 scale. Measures 5.5 inches long when complete. Nice little detailed kit. The models in this particular kit are designed for general use in N-scale (1:160) model railroad layouts or waterfront dioramas. While specific, individual boat histories are not associated with these generic models, their real-world counterparts have rich histories as vital parts of maritime commerce and service.
Fireboats are specialized vessels with powerful pumps and hoses used to fight fires from the water, often protecting port facilities and ships. The first fireboats, dating to the late 18th century, were tugboats, retrofitted with firefighting equipment. They are frequently used for fighting fire son docks and shore side warehouses as they can directly attack fires in the supporting underpinnings of these structures. They also have an effectively unlimited supply of water available, pumping directly from below the hull. Fireboats are usually seen by the public when welcoming a fleet or historical ships when they shoot large arcs of water in the air with their powerful water cannons.
