Pocher did a 1/8 truck kit years ago.It was an impressive size, but not very detailed.I think a truck in 1/8 would be great.
Tamiya does 1/14 RC trucks and they are great.I built one with the tanker trailer.

how about an RC boat. nothing over the top something like a steam tug boat or an RNLI life boat or maybe a victorian pleasure cruiser. would be nice to get something water born in the RC section. Jason “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Jason Hachettes Bismarck & Hood have RC options. Unfortunately as Partworks, sole RC boats don't attract viable volume.
If your looking for the ultimate in R/C RNLI Lifeboat kits, Speedline have some of the best on the market, the 1/12 Severn class is awesome..

Interesting, I'm in the process of selecting a Tamiya truck myself after my T-72 project fell through. Group build, anyone?

Sascha (levelord) recently built the red MAN GTX. It's a very nice kit and sounds like pure refined awesome. I'm undecided between the King Hauler and MB Actros 1831 Black ed. Which is weird because they're so totally different from a design aesthetic.

It's something worth thinking about at least. The main problem would be the flames and radiator badge. Maybe there's something on the after market.

This guy on ebay may be able to help with the badge you would just have to do a moulding for it http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-...12fff5536b%257Ciid%253A1 you could buy some flame stencils or make your own stencils from whats on google images but print onto stencil paper and cut out.
