The Rosenbauer PANTHER 8x8 is one of the most impressive airport firetrucks in the world. With a top speed of 135 km/h, a length of 13m, a weight of 52 tons and two engines with a total output of 1,450 hp, it can rescue aircrafts quickly. Its roof turret can project water up to 100m.
This vehicle has always fascinated me, and after having seen it in action several times on practice at airshows, I decided to built a 1:22 replica. At 60 cm long, it is made of 2,900 parts. The turret can be raised, the lateral compartments opened, and the two engines are visible under the rear removable bodywork.
