Definetly a unique piece. This is a fictional Boston FD Engine to commemorate St Patrick's Day 2008.

Nice, lets just desecrate the flag…

I bet Code 3 is kicking themselves after releasing that piece the year that Firefighters are boycotting the parade.

Not impressed with it, they could have done a better design for a St. Patrick's Day release.

Agreed, I don't like the Shamrock in place of the stars. Place a leprechaun instead of the flag.

vacguy and Future are right, not the way to display the flag. Though I'm Irish by decent, its still the Stars and Stripes, our flag shouldn't be "modified"!!

Agreed. Very proud of my Irish heritage but think that's inappropriate. But given the way our beloved Country is going, someday you may see a ban on displaying the American flag on Public Safety vehicles as they consider it insensitive to immigrants. It would be nice if C3 stepped up there production line as promoted.

Just to build on my past comment, the color could be better. I am also pretty sure, as has been stated by others, there had to be a department out there with an actual green rig that could have been made.

VMFD E38 comes to mind... Or the "plutonium green" rigs in Verplanck...

Not Impressed!

Even though the flag motif is clearly inspired by the United States flag, since there are 9 stripes and not 13, it is different enough that I don't have a big problem with it. There are other flags that have some of the same features.

I also think the color choice is not the best, and there are enough green rigs out there that they could do a couple a year if they really wanted to. As for the parade boycott, that might just make this more collectible.

If this is insensitive, they should stay home.

Upper Makefield, PA has a really good looking forest green color to thier trucks with a white roof. A much better looking dark green.
