Like I said before mate, the dutch are famous for their waterworks :cheers2:

For a first try it looks incredible :bow:: :clap: Makes me thinking about adding a dio to my DUKW build.
Only problem is I have no figures for it :scratch:: . You know a good place to get some? Thinking about a driver and maybe a guy sitting in the back, on top off some boxes.

Thanks mate, and good luck winning the D-Day GB. Seeing this, I know I won't..... :(

I was joking Frans...., actually I think I'm going to win this one :hand: :tongue:

No, jokes aside. I really love it. It's a small, simple, but excellent made dio.
Despite it's size, for me it tells the whole story. :bow:: :clap:
