With preparations, family, and friends I was off the forum for a while. After some broad hints, I got this from Iconic Replicas:
I give it a "B". The rotator arm spins and lifts, and there's a fold-down tow bar at the rear. I don't know if Iconic Replicas is allied with Ixo, but this model was made in Bangladesh, so you do the math. The markings are excellent for the original LA County FD heavy rescue unit #103, but they flubbed the area behind the cab. Instead of the chrome roll bar, the cabinet area should have been stair-stepped higher, almost to the height of the cab. Here's the actual 2018 Kenworth T880 (online images):

@100ford2003 About 10.5 inches. Doesn't weigh all that much since I think only the cab is diecast metal, everything else is plastic.
