Hi from sunny Sussex, England

[Mally Trucker]

Hi to everybody.
My name is Mally, i'm a very keen modeller, have been since i was a young boy. i'm told by she who must be obeyed that i'm old and misarable, but thats just a plan so that she leaves me alone in my three workshops [clever eh?] good tip - try it, it works!
Just completed Tamiya Scania - discovered that there's lots of mods you can do on these kits, which appeals to me after having made many 1/8 scale Pocher kits.
I have got very interested in rc excavators, and my options here in Europe are Leimbach, Wedico, Damitz which are in my opinion, extremely expensive - approx 5500 to 9000 euros for what they are [your thoughts please?]
I have discovered the RC4WD site and their 1/12 scale excavator, could anybody please give me feedback and their opinion and good/bad points and where to buy please? At the moment it seems RC4WD is the only place, my son is working in the USA at the moment so collection not a problem.
Keep safe and well, look after and treasure your family,
Many thanks Mally.
