The Thunderbolt is widely used for tornado warning, nuclear power plants, civil defense, and volunteer fire companies, all across America, and other parts of the world. The kit includes 6 cast urethane parts, one wood utility pole, brass rod for the siren pipe, and a stainless steel screen (please note: photo above shows painted and assembled kit).
Ralph Ratcliffe Models has introduced a new resin wheel set perfect for most modern trucks, especially the Mack Granites and Superliners, Petes, and KWs and is perfect for all modern fire apparatus. This set is also an excellent choice for any of Ralph's Mack cabs if you want polished aluminum wheels instead of the cast spoke wheels which are more typical. The set is cast resin and includes four rear 10 hole aluminum wheels, two front 10 hole aluminum wheels, eight 11.00 x 22.5 tires, and two 12.00 x 22 high flotation front tires.
Ralph Ratcliffe Models has introduced a new wheel set for non-Mack heavy-haul truck applications. The set includes four rear planetary drive axle wheels and two front 6 spoke heavy cast wheels. The set also includes ten 14.00x24" tires with a realistic tread pattern.
