Hi Joe, I hope you haven't fallen into some fire truck pit and can't get out? It's been a couple of weeks since we have seen a post from you, so I guess you are busy with the day job? It would be good to see any new progress you have made.
You may have seen from my Colet posts, I'm not getting any joy from them. Maybe I need a friend in the FBI Fire Truck Agency that could help!
Cheers Colin

Joe
That is absolutely amazing bit of kit. I would love to have a fully RC version of my DAF DROPS and King trailer at the same scale to play with. At your scale it would look impressive going over a mini off road route. Alas, I would get my head in my hands to play with from SWMBO if I diverted my attentions and hard cash to yet another long term project.
Maybe if I win the pools, I will see if you can do me a commission build. I have a Lotto ticket still waiting to be checked, so wait out for a call, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Still following
