I know that Alan I tryed the sundance thing on Saturday night but it did,nt work typical Darlo weather I suppose  :grin: :grin:.

Andrew I,ve also noticed that about most of the KFS transkits especialy trucks H keeps puting them off I think it may be he is not wanting to much stuff lay around his shelfs. Plus with all that karki and camo stuff he has going on it may boil down to time as well. Even if he does farm the casting out there is all the chasing of the orders up which take up time as well. So in a knock on efect it will slow down the further casting on other/new transkits I suppose.We will just have to wait and see if it turns up this month or if it gets knocked back again. But if H,s other kits are anything to go by it should be a nice piece to work with and worth the £99.Has he decided to sell it with the propper chassie or every thing bar that and use the volvo fh as the base. Cos he mentioned something about making compleate kits last time I spoke to him .

Tony, the KM and TK will be full chassis/cab kits with just the rear bodywork to add depending on the truck you are modelling which makes the price tag pretty good in my eyes. Fingers crossed, they are now being cast so hopefully Howards first test build should come soon! Then he can get on with the Matador.... :thumbsupup:

I spoke to David Jane at Milton Keynes who is making the masters for the Matador, it was apparently due for SMW but he doubts it will be ready before March 2012.

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on a memory stick somewhere!

That sounds good as it gives some time to save some pennys. Just been stung for £660 on a pug turbo that poped but seems to be running OK now.
