eddrick Offline GO FOR IT! Posts: 2169 Likes received: 113	I like the look of it, but as a model the combination of parts is just wrong Custom F2 ... Hilux crossmember drawing ... F2 axle drawing ... Quattro radio lid ... Holiday Buggy motor bracket drawing ... Quattro resto ... HitnMiss engine ... Wild Willy resto ... Mardave Cobra resto ... Thunder Dragon resto ... Grasshopper resto ... XR311 resto ... Modded XR311 ... Carbon 25th scratch build

I'd have one, but I haven't got the 3 million quid it's likely to cost!
Yes Edou, Unimogs are cool! Don't so much like the 406, but the '80s 'U' series are V sexy. I'd already have one if it wasn't for the 25k pricetag for second hand ones!

"DOODY" quoth Jonny...
Yep I'd agree, lexan should be restricted to racing/bashing purposes, for scale models use ABS (Or similar).

As for the parts bin specials, I've seen worse, the Brat body on the new version Blackfoot chassis for instance, that really is dire
