Got one of these as part of another ebay deal....not too sure

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?

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.

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)

Regards, Chris
