I love the Honest John mate, it rocks. I have been after one myself for my ROK ORBAT.
Nice score.
I wondered what all those video links were leading up to! Is this a ROCO model?
Yes it is Tim.
Paul, thanks It came in an odd lot
of vehicles, cheap...)
I had the Dinky HJ when I was a kid. The missile fired - but only a couple of feet! Somewhere I have the Heroics & Ros 1/300 version.
Looking at the video Tim I realized I had the wrecker and suitable deuce and a half to do
the featured reload operation ...thinking about doing that.
Sounds completely ridiculous. Go for it!
good enough for me...)
Dear Don,
Range of missile - approx 15.4 miles.
Range of missile still clamped to the launcher - approx 800 yards, but much more impressive as it cartwheels down the range :O)
