Thanks Mark - that's the one. Where did you source the drawings? Do they have other vehicles or was that a one-off thing?

I hear what you're saying - I wouldn't expect that you could get something perfect right from the start with this approach without a huge investment in R&D on the original model.

My thinking is that it would be a good way to get the size/scale and general proportions as a starting point to further develop the buck. Just that would be useful.
