Hi Jeff,

You build it twice! You have done a great job on the trucks and the trailers. Good photography too.

I have 2 small comments: I would weather the trailer wheels. They are too clean and "unused" to my taste. Maybe you could have used some different tones of paint chips, especially on the green camouflage areas because the underlying paint layer is the yellow colour. So some yellowisch chips would be logical.

Keep up the good work!

no nit picking on a real good job but one question. does the kit come with optional landing gear like sand pads instead of roller type wheels? would make sence if your in dessert country. Heck, I wouldn't one way or the other, just curious.

Good work and thanks for the shot of the engine.

Is this "Arabia" a country or a continent or a region or a neighborhood?

Is this like saying.. somewhere in "Europea"... just pick one of those countries where they all look alike?

Hi Hisham

PLEASE take language barriers into account before sending the thread in a direction it does not need to go.

I am as guilty as anyone else of doing the same at times without knowing the true meaning behind the original post.

Actually, I just meant it as a joke. I lived in the States for 13 years and I remember being called "Arabian" and that I come from "Arabia" and I remember I always used to laugh about it. No sensitivity intended by my post.
