    Yeah mate you can....as far as I'm aware the McAleese and N.Q Heavy Haulage ones were sold out pretty quickly (mine was a pre-order from the Brisbane truck show last year)....but as far as I know the plain-coloured ones are still available.The models are made by TWH in association with Drake Trailers in Brisbane wich licence approval etc from Kenworth. Check out Drake's shop at http://www.thedrakeshop.com/virtuemart?page=shop.browse&category_id=10 or Quarry Diecast in Brisbane http://http://www.quarrydiecastmodels.com.au/ and click on 'Drake Collectables' on the L/H Side. Heres a pic of the full set-up with a D11 and the float widened etc, it looks pretty good with a 5110 Cat Excavator or a 657 Scraper on it too

    Nice one Stripey Jack i recieved my NQHH livery T908 and Drakes last week just working on some pilot vehicles for it. Found some nice 1/43 AU XR8 utes on the net which should fit the bill quite nicely! KR Nick

    This one is my uncles Truck, the model company actuallly measured the truck and trailer up to build the replica. TJ Clark of NSW Australia is the owner... as show the photos in the background

    Is the steering wheel on the "correct" side? John

    I was over in Qld and met the guys at Drake and did abit of a tour, those models are great.. I'm saving for one with a 657G combo did you happen to see the 1/50th dragline model they had on display at the brissy truck show?
