Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Very nice spotted Brad. I have checked my models and I would like to make a small summary of K7b Refuse Truck. I have found 5 variations in my collection. Please all check your models and add your variations. Thanks
