@ Sailor - that 'Blitz looks like crap, have they deliberately flattened out the contours of the cab so that its easier to FDM print it? The grill should lean backwards and the doors are not flat.../quote]

I have to agree there, looks daft to me. But then again, Hooben is toy grade so the kids won't mind. :haha:

Probably where he found & adapted the files for his prototype.

Overall am impressed with what I've seen posted on the local hobby groups. Kit is to be all metal with a ton of photo etch & a few bazzilion fasteners. If you enjoyed building Meccano sets, this will be right up your alley.

Was told yesterday prototype will be finished & running within 2 weeks.

That said, its from Hooben so buy at your own risk.

Looks pretty nice but still need to see this in person before I hand over any cash.
