Airborne's Bussing-Nag Recovery Vehicle - I Hope!

You would be a teetotaller in UK :smiling2:, teetotaler is US usage. Irish-English origin likely.

I have Irish in my lineage and my wife more so Paul, but what's the difference! Must still be pretty grim not having a bottle of pain-killer in the 'fridge! :cold-sweat:

None, kinda like check/cheque. The poor sods.

Or Aluminium/aluminium……but pronounced differently….

In the trades we use Aluminum Tim Rick H.

Sorry for the delay - been building stuff at my wife's school - and my abysmal attempts at photography! The chassis is nearly complete, the big lump of a motor ditto; the same problems have persisted - fiddly parts, chipolata fingers, fading eyesight, empty Sauvignon bottle - life deals some bitter blows! The instructions, with regard to parts placement, are often vague as are the locating points. I've started the chassis weathering process but none of it will be seen as I intend to 'button it up' and include it in a simple diorama - at least I know it's there and I get more time/value from practising and trying new techniques which (if they don't work) are hidden from view.
The next section is the engine installation, followed by the cab; wheels are supposed to be installed but I don't like rubber and am waiting for resin replacements. Once again, apologies for the photography!

Steve,
Despite the issues you are having this is turning out very well.

Ohh yeah, I have noticed Bimbo trucks while out on the road Paul. Huh. And here I was thinking it meant something else. And that poor truck driver had to have been scared out of his wits, I must have followed him for miles before I finally gave up.
Hey John, you hear that ? No lame excuses on the Softee Donuts, Pal!

Sorry for the late reply Ron.
Only have normal suger coated ones.

Excuse us please Steve .

Looking good Steve, you appear to have the chassis square , that's normally where I mess up .

No worries John, any insight into the wilder excesses of my fellow modeller's fevered imaginations is a plus! That chassis isn't quite perfectly square yet but there's a great chunk of I-beam superstructure that should iron out any residual misalignment (I hope!).
