lynx42 Rick Cove Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Time for an update on the HAR-1 and Jeep, I think. Did the power of the 'P' get your son or is the jeep finished? BTW I also have an ex-RAAF HAR-1 Tipper with the number 2 on the scuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
