Hi Folks, I have just finished my replica of the Rescue truck at my work, its a 1988 Hino with a purpose built body. It's 99% scratch built, the cab, body and contents are scratchbuilt, the beacons, quickcut and chainsaware after market items while the wheels, engine, gearbox, diffs, fuel tank, mirrors and chassis are from the parts bin....Please enjoy the pics. With the real truck. Thanks for looking. Al

Thanks Guys , i really do appreciate your kind comments. Chris - the cab is "just built" i have about 100 photos of the cab alone, and 20 pages of sketchs and measurements, i then just cut sheet styrene to the measurements and sanded to shape.... have a look at my photobucket site and there you will find some WIP shots (the album is a mess, all over the place, sorry, just like my work bench, hehehe) s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff198/roadtrain_al/thanks again Al
