Bring the engineering and distinctive appearance of aerial firefighting to your collection with the AT-802F Fire Boss Tanker 426 Amphibious Firefighting Plane Building Blocks. Officially authorized by Fire Boss® and designed and authorized by Silver Ridge, this detailed ABS aircraft model recreates the classic Tanker 426, registered as N226FB, in its recognizable red-and-white livery.

Officially Authorized Fire Boss® Aircraft Design

Inspired by the AT-802F Fire Boss amphibious firefighting aircraft, this model captures the distinctive shape of a specialized aircraft used in wildfire suppression operations. The clean white fuselage is accented by a continuous red horizontal stripe running from the nose toward the vertical tail, complemented by red wingtips, tail accents, and float details.

The Tanker 426 markings and N226FB registration give the model its own identity, making it an appealing addition to a collection of firefighting planes and specialized aviation models.

Distinctive Twin-Float Amphibious Structure

The aircraft features a detailed twin-float configuration inspired by the Wipline 10000 amphibious float system. Supporting struts connect the floats to the fuselage, while the carefully arranged landing gear recreates the aircraft's distinctive amphibious appearance.

Each float features a front guide wheel, a main landing wheel positioned toward the middle, and a water rudder at the rear. These details highlight the specialized engineering that allows the real AT-802F Fire Boss to operate from suitable land and water surfaces.

Five-Blade Propeller and Detailed Cockpit

At the nose, a rotating black five-blade propeller adds an interactive detail to the finished aircraft model. Simulated exhaust pipes on both sides of the engine area and a brown-gray anti-glare nose panel contribute to its authentic turboprop appearance.

The raised single-seat cockpit features a white tubular protective frame, a rear communications antenna, and dedicated markings for Tanker 426 and registration N226FB. Together, these elements create a recognizable interpretation of this specialized firefighting aircraft.

A Classic Red-and-White Aviation Display

Unlike aircraft featuring stepped color bands, this Tanker 426 model uses a clean, continuous red stripe across the white fuselage. The coordinated red details on the wingtips, vertical tail, and amphibious floats create a cohesive appearance inspired by North American aerial firefighting aircraft.

Display it independently on a desk, bookshelf, or in an aviation cabinet, or combine it with other Silver Ridge firefighting vehicles to create a coordinated aerial and ground rescue diorama.

A Distinctive Firefighting Aircraft Collectible

Combining amphibious float details, a rotating propeller, a carefully modeled cockpit, and recognizable aircraft markings, this AT-802F Fire Boss model offers an engaging building experience for aviation enthusiasts.

Whether you collect Fire Boss aircraft, enjoy detailed airplane models, or appreciate the specialized machinery used in wildfire suppression, the Tanker 426 edition brings a distinctive piece of aerial firefighting aviation to your collection.
