So do I Alan, it will be just that bit different from the normal type, that said I'd like to see some of the other marques being covered as well, Fords et al.

It's quite nice kit really, I reviewed one for Hyperscale and it was a nice enjoyable build. It is essentially the Opel Truck with wooden cab but with the modified cargo tray with an indented corner for the Burner to sit in. A reservoir at the front adds to the coal unit. The only problem to watch out for are to open the holes in the fenders and the tailshaft is a poor fit. Has rubber tyres for the wheels but no detail 0other than tread in a soft rubber compound. Still has all the little bits carried over from the Blitz in that the tray has numerous knockout marks but I'd recommend this for any one wishing something different. Cheers Al

This was supposed to be really polluting!

You'll be okay as long as you don't try to start it up
