    got mine already, pre ordered 8 months ago..

    WOW, it is fantastic, it even has a working 4 bar link hinge with spring on the bonnet and little rams for the upper tailgate.
    its made by AutoArt who are brilliant, I have a large collection of 1:18 scales and the sandman is one of the best, I can't wait for the mint julip one later in the year.

    HX ute in Valencia orange (EDIT- Description says HX but photo is of HZ) and HX van in Mint Julip should be coming end of December.

    White HJ ute and Valencia HZ sandman end of March next year apparently. I hadn't seen these 2 last time I checked (2 weeks ago) so they must be a recent announcement.

    Almost wish I'd waited for the HZ van, looks like I'll have to just buy it as well. I was going to convert my HX to a HZ (my real one is HZ Flamenco Red). Also have full size and 1.18 HZ GTS in Palais White. Couldn't believe my luck when I saw that model released.
