I'm hopping on this too. I plan to do a Magnum myself, in the future. Any issues, so far, Ben?

Bozzer, my kit has one badly warped and twisted frame rail so care must be taken to get everything straight while assembling. Even with straight parts, care must be taken to make sure the chassis is straight and square or the cab will not line up properly.

I can relate to that, with my Scania. European trucks, aren't my favourite, but I did the Scania, because it was a gift, from a great friend. My Magnum, is a project for the future. I use Lego, to keep my frame square, but a twisted rail, I usually use hot water, to bring it back square.

Ahoy Ben!
Could you pretty please scan the instructions and add them to the database?
I got a badly started second hand one without instructions 😝

I scanned the instructions and uploaded them to the listing. However, I've already marked them up a little during construction.
