Thanks for the review. Hopefully mine will arrive soon. As for the rear amber, it's a pretty easy add-on. I did it on a few FRR cars. Just a decal, a little resin, and clear amber paint.
I may do that to one of the two I have. One stays untouched. I haven't decided if I want to attempt removing graphics on one. I have had bad luck with paint coming off many pieces even when using non-acetone polish remover & Q-Tips (gently) & without my "shop" being in business, repainting is out.
Where did you order yours from? I ordered from Diecast Direct which originally had an available date of January 10th, and now they say late Feb-early March :x :x :x I would have ordered from somewhere else if I would have known they were going to take so long.

I got mine from Awesome Diecast.

Ditto on Awesome Diecast - they commissioned the model, so they got theirs first. Mine arrived last week and I echo the sentiments of others - very well done! A common error involves the running boards not being attached properly to the cab, leaving a noticeable gap. 2 of the 5 I ordered have this problem and will be going back to Awesome Diecast once the replacements arrive.

At first I thought you ordered 51 of them!!!, then I realized you ordered 5. The 5 I threw me off but I wouldn't have put it past you to order 51 :D

Some comparisons with the 1:64 Code 3 Squad 51, and a Sword 1:50 Ford F250. The 1:50 Squad is around the same length as a Code 3 Crown pumper
