Hi Robert, i made 5 variations of the 22RB, and 5 of the 22BE, dragline, crane, face shovel, backhoe, and skimmer, the 38RB/BE was crane, dragline, and face shovel.

Great models Martyn do you reckon you will ever make any more of them i reckon they will sell like hot cakes i've got one of your first JCB models the later one of the two JCB three's thats on that flyer just need the early JCB 3 now like rocking horse s**t tho

[Martyn Henley]

Thank you for your comments, and thats a question asked to me many times, the JCB's in that scale will not be possible, much as i would love to, but JCB have said a big NO.
As for the RB's/BE's, i dont know.
Looking at the pics, it would seem you are right about the 38, its never been out of the box, the 22 though, well the middle section seems to be missing, as well as damage to the tracks and top of superstructure, and its come away from the H frame.
