Code 3 1:64 Aerialscope Tower Ladder #8: Chiefs Edition

This model was produced in 2000 and was only available to Code 3 collectors club members with only 2500 pieces distributed worldwide

The Aerialscope is a line of elevated platforms, introduced in the mid-1960s, later bought and sold by Baker Equipment & Engineering Company. The Aerialscope has been a favorite of the FDNY which has operated several tower ladders since 1964. FDNY Aerialscopes were initially delivered on Mack C chassis, and later the CF600. After production of the CF600 ceased in 1990, FWD (Seagrave parent/sister company), Simon-Duplex, Spartan, and later Seagrave chassis were used. Aerialscopes were also delivered to other departments in the United States and Canada, and ex-FDNY tower ladders have been used by smaller departments.

Seagrave Corporation purchased the Aerialscope product from Baker in 1999 and moved production to Wisconsin. Seagrave continues to build the Aerialscope II.
