Hi Ken. I have made this model also (in the 80-ies). I aksed my dad to buy it for me from a warehouse in Stockholm. He did and I was happy. The model I painted and after some years I also painted the driver. He got good eyes and eyebrows. Dad got it several years later. It stood on a shelf in his bedroom after he passed away. I do not know where it went to. Many memories came over me now when I see your build. Good luck and take care. / Fredrik Stockholm SE
I am very touched by your comment, my own father died in 1990 and not a day passes when l don't miss him. When l was little we made these plastic models together with him doing most of the work. When he passed away l inherited his tools and each time l use one l silently think, " THANKS DAD" With this model l have just finished stage 11 - 5 to go plus the figures and the decals. All is going well and with a bit of luck you will see the finished model next week. Regards. Professor Ken.
hello there Ken i have built this kit and it is a nice kit to build from what i could see there dose not look to be much missing so good luck and have fun
I have spent the last two days working on it, done the first three sections and not a single part is missing as yet. Feeling very optimistic. Thanks for visiting and C.U.SOON. Professor Ken.
I have made a tentative start this evening and have put the two idler wheels, twelve road wheels and two sprocket wheels together and painted them. So far so good. All being well l am planning to have it completed in a week's time, providing that all the parts are there. Regards. Professor Ken.
Good luck! FYI our postal service is on strike fingers crossed your Xmas gift arrived already it should have. Sorry you probably won’t get a card. Hugs
Good to hear from you, Norrie. I sent your Christmas parcel just over a week ago. I have come to the conclusion that postal delivery dates are very much in the hands of God himself. Much love.Professor Ken XXX.

Best wishes with your kit. Maybe even if a lot of parts are missing you could build it as battle damaged or something.
This evening I have made a tentative start, l shall just have to see how things go. Have a good week and C.U.SOON. Professor Ken.
That's a pity Ken , still you might be able salvage some parts for other projects.
Made a start this evening. Just assembled and painted the wheels. So far so good. Thanks for visiting and C.U.SOON. Professor Ken.
Fingers crossed that all parts are there, or enough parts are there that you could completely finish one side & put it in a simple Diorama
