WOO HOO...it's here! And OMG! How big is the cab????? Honestly, I've spent a fair few months now browsing and reading up on the trucks, drooling and dreaming mainly and never really giving a thought about actually how big a 1/14 truck is. Well impressed with it! Can't wait to get stuck in with it and start a build thread.
And I actually had it sent to my parents - for delivery reasons. I opened it with dad closely montoring proceedings - he was impressed too. He's a diesel mechanic, trained in the UK, cut his teeth on the mighty Gardner and has just retired. From Fodens, Scammels, etc through to here in NZ on Kenworths, Macks, Scania, MAN's, Freighliners and Cummins, CAT etc, he's worked on most and built numerous logging gear, racks, etc, even built a 4 axle, rear steer, 40 tonne logging trailer - I'll dig out some pic's.
Think we may be building two of these beauty's?

Cheers

Glenn
