Lookin'pretty dang awesome!!!
we gather the darkest secrets of our desperate lives......wheel it all to the curb under the dim cover of early morning......hold our collective breaths until we hear the commotion SPECIFIC to our particular driveway.....watching the truck progress down the street afterwards,the slow exhale and the welcome of another week of furtive anonymity

John, is that FG (I assume First Gear) truck really 1/24 scale? It looks more like something from their 1/34 scale series. Several years ago I had a small collection of their 1/34 scale trucks.

Thanks for the specs. The description mentions both plastic and diecast. Is the model primarily plastic or metal?

@geoff-jowett ...............I think the "farm toys" bit is some sort of distribution franchise.....I`ve gotten several fg and speccast pieces from AG Farm toys......."AG" has the same web layout design as does "Outback Toys"

thanks again John, I've received a reply from them, where they very clearly state that they are not liable for any damage in transit. Now ebay, with all its many faults, does refund. I recently received a full, including postage, refund for a minor, repairable, damaged in transit model shipped via their global shipping program. Refund also applies if it is lost in the post. Considering the vagaries of international shipping I prefer to take the safest course. But again, thanks.
