Maxwell Hemmens 2 inch scale Shand Mason fire engine - stock code 10531

The finest 2 inch scale Shand Mason fire engine we've seen by some considerable margin. One of a small batch commercially produced by Maxwell Hemmens in the 1990s, based on the Edgar Westbury design with much added detail.

Standard of workmanship is excellent throughout - it's one of those models which, the longer you look at it, the more detail you see; an absolute jewel of a thing.

One owner from new - now nearly thirty years old, it remains in pristine, unsteamed condition.
