Hi Dave, As Joe said I have ordered a Sandmaster dumper. It should have been released a few weeks ago but there has been some delays in production.
As of 17/10/14 it was still a week away from the first delivery.
My model will be number 14 in the first round of deliveries.
By the time it gets to Australia I guess others will have built there models.
I will also be in Germany at the end of next week to visit Friedrickshaven for the model show and look forward to seeing one running and hopefully get a drive.
I am sure plenty pictures will be posted around the show time.
