    Thank you for all the work you've put in to make this what it is, fantastic model all round. Just had a blast down Chat Moss with it, lovely to drive (and look at!). I just hope all the time sunk into this project results in the deserved additional sales.
    Very well done and thanks again.

    You are very welcome, thank you so much - it's definitely been a labour of love. I figured that if I was going to do it, I may as well leave no stone unturned. This isn't the only update this pack will get either - expect more to follow in a few months time.

    Would just like to echo Overcode's comments, your attention to detail is phenomenal.
    At first I sat here scratching my head over which livery the "Clean Me" version is, and then I loaded it. :cool:

    Absolutely fantastic, and yes I do wish my wife was that dirty LOL.
    (Zoom in to the front of the cab where D98932 is displayed)
    It is not that obvious to start with.
    Thanks again for bringing this amazing unit to us all. :love::cool::D

    What you apologising for you can only do what you can when you can you have nothing to apologise to anyone for.
