Mercedes ML 320 Dutch Fire Truck 1:73 Hongwell

The Mercedes ML 320 with the Dutch fire brigade

The Mercedes ML 320 is a robust SUV that hit the market in the late 1990s. It was one of the first true off-road vehicles of the German brand and was used around the world for a wide range of purposes. The combination of strength and reliability also made the ML suitable for emergency services, including the Dutch fire brigade. This model brings that special combination of Mercedes and fire service together in a compact version.

A recognisable piece of Dutch emergency services

The Dutch fire brigade has used a wide range of vehicles for years, from large pumping appliances to smaller response vehicles. Alongside the familiar vehicles, several brigades have also worked with robust SUV models over the years. This version shows that combination: the solid character of the Mercedes ML in the recognisable livery of a Dutch fire engine. That makes it a lovely eye-catcher for fans of fire engines and of Mercedes-Benz alike.

Fits into a collection of emergency vehicles

Fire service models are a popular theme in the world of collectable toys. This Dutch version makes the model extra special, because it matches a recognisable image for collectors at home. Combined with models of police and ambulance vehicles, it is easy to build a complete emergency services collection that looks great on a shelf.

For play and collection

The model suits many purposes. Children can act out exciting fire service scenes, from a fast response to a rescue in their own play world. For adult collectors, it is an attractive piece that fits both a collection of emergency vehicles and a collection of German cars. One model thus combines play value and collectibility for young and old.
