On its way!

Cheers guys! Plan at this stage is to length it with longer rails and convert it to 6x6. I'd like to have a go at a hydraulic tip too.

Righto, now I've been reading through the front axle options (great sticky!)...... economically, the TLT-1 looks good, but seems there is quite a jump to purchasing a front and then rears that offer good scale appearance.
Are there any economical scale 6x6 conversion packages out there?

Congrats mate on the first, just remember it WONT be the last
The MAN is a very sexy euro truck, I've only seen 3 1:1's where I am, a Truck Rentals in white, a yellow 8x4 Route and Retail, and a silver Halls... Certainly a change from the ever popular Scania's!

Looking forward to seeing your project come alive!

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
