Looks like >$450, but a chassis only kit looks to be <$300...

Good Morning, Max!
Thank you, Jimbo! I have seen them go on Ebay for as little as 329.00 complete ( without radio and receiver ) I am mostly interested in the very nice plastic cab and detail bits ( like the real wood cargo bed, etc ). The cab and detail bits for it can be found for around 59 - 69 dollars. ( price of a whole JJRC or Fayee truck, I know ;o)
regards,
Painless

Evenin' all!
I thought I should post some more pics of the work being done on the truck. I am still awaiting window wipers and a passenger I can arm up with a few details. ( may have shown up today, post usually comes in with the better half ) So anyway, work continues! Pics ( Click to enlarge )

Dang it, Painless, I could've gone the rest of my life without learning about Diorama Freak but you had to show them to me. I already placed an order for a tow hitch (got the set of four) and you'll be seeing them soon on the back of the tanker kit and the Q60. 8)

Nice tires ya got there. Bwahahahaha @) @)

In fact, the whole truck is coming along nicely. I love what you did with the bed.

Another very good source for different types of Tow Hitch in 1/16 is www.hagen-miniatures.de/
A very broad range of white metal castings at a very reasonable price. :thumbup:

I ordered from Diorama Freaks' Ebay site and never got my order here in the US. I ordered from two different vendors in Germany at the same time. I got my order from Imperial-Modellbau like 2 weeks ago. When I inquired about where this order was from Diorama Freaks, Uwe did get back to me right away and asked if I wanted to wait or get a refund? I responded I'd like to wait and he cancelled my order. I got a prompt refund, but what I wanted was my parts. I never got a tracking number or even had the order marked shipped on Ebay. The order was from Sept 24th. I keep thinking that maybe the order will show up, but he cancelled it so fast that I think it was never sent because it was for a decent amount of money. I can't see them losing 55 Euros if there was a chance it would show up.
