after much saving in January this year my Mamod Showmans special arrived. Was it worth the wait? Oh yes beautifully made with obvious care and great attention to quality it is epic. The first firing was a real joy and the slide valve piston is facinating to watch and operate. With just two solid fuel tablets i got a good six to eight minute run and the led lights on the canopy worked very well. This is a well made beautiful Mamod and if you dont have one yet in your collection it is well worth the money ..
